I have a couple cosmetic issues I would like some help on.

First, the radiator cover that must be trimmed to clear the intake pipe just doesn't look right. It appears like it's propped up on the tubing, any ideas for further trimming without having to cut into the catalyst sticker?

Secondly, the "stock" procharger hoses look like hell, has anyone switched to a nice silcone hose setup and nicer clamps?

umm what hoses are you talking about? it's a self contained system... unless you are referring to the vaccum lines, which look just like the factory shit?..
none of my stickers were harmed and my radiator cover doesnt touch a thing.

Do you have any over the top pics of this area? maybe my intake pipe is not adjusted correctly?? The hoses I am referring to are the 3-4" diameter hoses were the piping connects to the throttle body etc.

Yeah, I feel ya' on this one. I asked the same thing a while back in a similar thread. The ATI piping looks like crap. I would love to get some blue silicone tubing or some chrome mocked up in place of the current stuff. My radiator coveris also cut and I hate it.

Jcain- The reason your radiator cover isnt cut is because you still have your stock intake manifold. When running the Fast it angles the TB piping up causing it to hit the radiator cover if not trimmed.

sounds to me like he's referring to the rubber hose couplers. Maybe reading the post will help?

maybe you should read it? "rubber hoses" thats quite vague, so is "nicer clamps"... carry on pulse04

My radiator is in fact trimmed quite a bit, but I think they way the routed my piping and i/c is the leading cause as to "where" it's been trimmed? I'm not sure. Good idea on the FAST though, that may in fact be why

then goes on to talk about silicone and nicer clamps?

 

[jcain]

true. interpretations are sometimes different.

Here is how I did mine....
