Default FMIC test-fit, Hick-style...(DRAG III FMIC, greddy SOHC kit, 97 EX)

I was really bored the other night, and decided that I'd like to see how my new FMIC will fit behind the front bumper of my 97 EX (haven't bought piping yet).

Lacking any drilling or cutting tools, or even duct tape, I resorted to more "ghetto" measures - electrical-taping that bitch to the bumper support!







I've noticed that I need to hack even more out of my front bumper to make it fit flush (not much left anyways), or am I bolting it up to the wrong area? I figured that it bolts up to the bumper support, any other ideas so it fits flush and I can fit my bumper on properly?

Other questions:
-where can I get a silicon reducer hose? 2.25" to 2"?
-what radius should the 180 deg. bend be that wraps around the frame to the lower IC pipe off the turbo (greddy SOHC kit)?

Thanks in advance for the help!

So were you all so busy laughing at my ghetto test-fit that you weren't able to answer my questions?

-where can I get a silicon reducer hose? 2.25" to 2"?
-what radius should the 180 deg. bend be that wraps around the frame to the lower IC pipe off the turbo (greddy SOHC kit)?

Any other suggestions for where to get piping, perhaps in MN?
