I checked out a few kits and got my ideas in order and I know what I wanna do now its renting a pipe bender and getting the car on the big tall jack stands and putting what I got on paper into reality. thanks the PH kit looks nice. is it a suck through MAF or Blow through MAF?

its a blow through design
no i did not install it myself, i wish i had that type of mechanical ability
ya i know its dirty, have you ever tried to keep an engine bay clean in Arizona, its pointless. this is my daily driver and i don't feel like wiping down the engine bay every other day lol.
i dont have any pics of the intercooler, i still use the stock v6 bumper so its hard to notice it through that small opening. as for the pipes underneath my crossover pipe is custom cause i have a tr6060 trans that it needed to fit around. and my exhaust is well lets call it a work in progress lol
im pretty sure that it utilizes either stock or after market (your choice) headers as the manifolds. not 100% though. you should contact mike at powerhouse and ask him for a definite answer

Oh jebmustang06 if you are getting a turbo be prepared to drop some coin on an alum d/s, 8.8 rear end, air to fuel and boost gauges, rear lower control arms, sticker than stock tires, dyno tune, and if you have the crappy t5 trans then you may want to think about a swap to a 3650 or a 6060
