Its not a huge deal, just get a pipe fabbed up to replace the sidemount.

I'd be more worried about getting an air filter on there.

Oh the filter is defiantly on there. It was just off so we could have more room.

That's awesome! It reminds me of the Dahlback golf. 5 cylinders, a big turbo, two I/C's and 1000 awhp.

So, you need one more cyl. and a few more hp.

Anyone have a pic of a short route setup utilizing his style IC? I can only find one with an IC with the piping adapters facing back towards the radiator. I'm curious to see a setup go through on the sides of the radiator and hook into such a large IC with the endtank adapters facing the sides.

Just shorten that 90* on the passenger side, and get it to point up so it goes over the tranny, instead of making go to the stock sidemount side. I'd say just get yourself a couple bends though to replace where that stock ic is, and call it done.

Yea I think I'll just leave the long route and get a pipe to replace the smic. I'm planning on checking out a few local shops to get some quotes.

We'll I went to LSE and they gave me a good price so I got rid of my smic and stuck with the long route. I'll post pics up tomorrow! No more dual intercoolers for me!

Thanks for the business, glad we could take care of it for you so quickly.
Feel free to post a review in our forum ;).

I dont think you can use a short route for that IC, its too big, i have that same one. i did all the pipes myself and went long route. i just looked at where i wanted to route the pipes and what bends i would need, then went to a local exhaust shop got the bends i needed, cut them and welded them and i was good to go. Then i did the same on a buddies car that got an ebay kit (missing 2 bends GG)

Haha thanks guys. Yea i didn't get around to pics today/yesterday (it was my birthday). But I'll get to it asap. And i'll post this in the review forum as well, but ill say it here too, LSE did a great job on makin these pipes! They did it in half the time I asked and did a great job. The guys there are nice and don't give you too much shit even if you have 2 intercoolers haha.
