Ok, just finished all the intercooler piping today. Freaking took me 8-9hrs. This included all the extra custom fabrication needed to fit everything properly. However, I'm going to redo all of the cold side piping in a few days because I don't like how it looks. A bit too messy for my taste ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Anyways, on with the pictures:
