On Sunday my cousin helped me to install the radiator, fan shroud, Perrin intercooler, UR uicp/licp, and the Specialty-X exhaust from the DP back.

I still have quite a bit to get on the car: coilovers, rear swaybar, PSRS, short-shift, o2 downpipe, and gauges.

It's nice to have some of the boxes out of the house, though.

Looks really nice! I like that CF rad plate/intake air guide.

Looks great, but isn't that valve cover cover hitting that intake pipe?

No, I just had the camera at an angle so the Mishimoto logo could be seen.

It was a little expensive and I had to Dremel the CAI snout to make it fit, but I agree that it really is an improvement over stock.

These engine bays are just really unappealing to me. There's not enough going on there. So many covers lol.

I agree. I love the look of an Evo 8 with the COP covers on top of the motor.

Doing what I can with what I have to work with.

Ended up being a 6 hour job start to finish but I managed to get my downpipe installed today. Yup, it's a bitch like most people say.

No, it was after 6 and I was in a hurry by that time. I don't have my own garage so I have to drive to my cousin's place (an hour away, in Montrose).

I went with a Specialty-X tbe and this was the last piece I needed to get on. I was surprised that the spool/power change was enough to feel on the drive home.
