well... i'm not sure how much room is behind that custom enclosure but you could always hide it behind there if they left you room...

but if you wanted to keep it hanging like that... you could always just get a black plastic covering for each wire outlet opening....

black plastic coverings are going to be a little hard to find for perfect fitment but should be really cheap once you find them

take it back to the shop... see if they have any ideas... that's probably your best bet....

NAH~I didn't go to HAAS, I was first trying to go to Medical School, so I transferred to Psychology Major. But I changed my mind over the summer . so i tried to change my major to business, but HAAS just changed their policy!!! if you are a transfer student, you don't get to change your major to business anymore. In other words, you HAVE TO transfer/apply to Business school when you transfer. The new policy got affected 2~3 months ago, so I'm stuck with my psychology major lol. oh well I was planning on going to MBA, so it doesn't really matter

they changed their policy because many transfer students who transferred to Berkeley with whatever easy major have been trying to change their major to HAAS.

my GPA was 3.98 lol but you should be ok if you have 3.77
anyways, let me know if you need any help,,

you don't get any advantages because you are a VET. you only get GI-BILL when you come to University

i'm not an expert on cars but I can tell you this
none of this direct BOLT ON (exhaust and intake) will give you a huge performance gain
so most people in CL (correct me if I'm wrong) get their aftermarket Intake and exhaust
for sound purpose (and maybe a small performance gain)
so for exhaust
if you aren't looking for a LOUD exhaust, then you should definitely look into
1-Tanabe Exhaust
(best bang for the buck!! it's little louder than your Stock exhaust. you won't really hear your exhaust until you floor it (after 3k RPM)) The tip is little bigger than the Stock ones so it fits better on your rear bumper and looks SO MUCH BETTER
and I can go on and on but I'll let you do your SEARCH

2-Get the Joe-Z or Lexus HKS
these are little louder and deeper than Tanabe (from what I've heard in person)
but it's super expensive

as far as Intake
I'd say
1-Injen
2-F-sport
3-JoeZ

aftermarket Intake will compliment the aftermarket exhaust!! so it's good if you can get both

anyways,,I hope this gives you a little idea about Exhaust and Intake
and the best way to choose is..

1-wait until you attend your first CL meet
2-check out different after market exhaust in PERSON and
3-ask if you can listen to them (most of CL member will help you out )
