Actually I think I’m wrong, 04-05 looked to have the 5lug wheel setup along with a 6spd and LSD, also dual bulb headlights and side skirts.

Based on the horrible location on these, how will it not?  
It’s not getting any fresh air and is right near the exhaust manifold.

i know there is an air inlet on the right side of the engine bay. not sure if it will actually work. pretty much all of them are like this though. You would have been better off getting a 90\* pipe made and angle it towards the front bumper lol. or with a whale penis intake

it’s getting an exhaust too, duh!

i’m a big fan of DIY and it’s great that you’re doing your own work, this is more of a “went out for milk, bought this, cleaning up a few things” thread. you need to build something to call it a build thread.
