With the killer wire tuck you did, you REALLY need to move that ground strap. It’s sticking out like a sore thumb. I’m sure you can hide it, even if you need to make one out of 4ga or get a longer/different braided one.

Looks incredible otherwise. The intake could use a bit of work, IMO, but man…that’s clean!

looks nice, although im sure the intake could be lengthened when a tune is needed

btw whats up with running no tq mounts, unless you have the solid inserts in your motor mounts its not a good idea (unless your going for strictly clean engine and dont care about performance

how long did it take you to do the bay?? in the process of doing mine and its taking forever
