finished the IC piping. Welded two 90s on the I/O. Also Trimmed the bumper to fit. It’s tight, but it fits. I need to trim a bit more in order for it to fit perfectly. Tomorrow, hopefully completing the exhaust, then it’s on to the tunnel. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/DSC01512.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/DSC01512.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/DSC01511.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/DSC01511.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/DSC01508.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/DSC01508.jpg) ---
