Quick question. your upper coolant hose has a metal pipe in the middle there. Why?

My 03 has one just like that, and my 01 does not.

im not exactly sure, im pretty sure thats one of the things the shop had to order for me, probably has to do with length of the hose to extend it or something

It extends the hose and slightly changes the angle to allow it to fit under the headunit

Thanks man. It was amazing Haha. The first time I hit boost it was nuts lol. Definitely worth the money.

Stanger. They're not too bad. Their service could be much better. Whenever I emailed dwayne it would take him a couple days to get back to me. But their work is really good. Got ny gears done there and they're fine as well

Congrats. Other than spraying it down once in a while maybe shining up your rubber with a conditioning cream, I'd leave the bay just like it is. lol Worry about bling when you start wearing a flavor flav clock around your neck. :0)

Clean and bling are two totally different things...

Its actually pretty hard to clean these motors w/ the COPs where they are. I really just want to pressure wash it like my dad and my other LSx guys do...but that would be disasterous lol..

It takes a lot of time thats for sure!
