Looks good, but I think you need to redo that charge piping while you're at it.

Funny thing that you would mention that,because thats what im doing next.I would like to do aluminum piping but i really dont want to spend the extra cash right now.you can see from the pictures that my bov hits the catch can line as well as the wastegate,so im going to move the bov further toward the headlight as well as either get the piping powder coated or either paint them.Not sure what color because im in the process of repainting the car.

Any suggestions on what color to do the charge pipes?

?

If you're tight on cash, go on ebay and buy one of the universal build it yourself piping kits. They're cheap and work just fine for that purpose.

Ya.I don't plane on keeping the car.so its not a huge deal.but if i get the money and time I probably would do that.but for now the steel pipes work good.
Another thing is alot of people talk about the steel piping getting heat soaked,however my piping is always cold, never really gets hot.

Cans look good!

As for the steel VS aluminum, if the pipe is in a hot area, like next to a manifold you are better off with steel. It absorbs less heat and puts off less heat into the air inside it. Steel pipe is under utilized especially in hot engine bays.

If you just have an open stretch of pipe next to some cool air then aluminum is better as it will cool the air on the inside the pipe. It's is also good to loose weight on nose heavy cars.
