You might want to think about the VMP MAF housing. This way you don't need the flange and it will give you the room you need for the MAF. Seems like a lot of guys are running the Tial BOV, I am and it works great. You will need to find someone to weld the flange onto the tubing to hold the BOV. Powerpipe would be optional, but flows much better then the Vortech unit. Retune and of course pics and vids!!!!

They will flake after awhile. Easier to just get black ones Id imagine.

Ive seen it before... and it doesnt look good.

I wonder how orange would look since you have some orange accents... something to think about.

My plan was to paint the pipes the same color as my stripes since I have some of the paint left over! Way to blow my cover, haha.
