Lunch time fun. Did a 4" inlet to blower at lunch. Blower is way louder and BOVs sound wicked now.

Yep. I've had it for the past 6 months but was still running the factory ECS intake.

Once the TT zl1 is done and the turbo c7, we will do a whole front end rebuild on my car. Cut out the front bar, relocate radiator, condensor, new intercooler, new inlet. For now this works. Car seems to run cooler too. Was 109F on the way home and only got to 225F with a/c on. Before I was seeing 235F by the time I got home. Airfilter isn't wedged up against the a/c condensor anymore so that probably helps.

Trying to pick out what core from the wall of intercoolers to use.

I'll ask but it would be easier and cheaper to make one your self. It was a 10 minute job, 2 cuts of a mandrel. All you need is a hacksaw and a 4" mandrel bend and cut it to length.

The cut down radiator makes this easier, just FYI for anyone planning to make one for a stock or stock size radiator car.

No way in hell a stock size radiator would work unless you drop it 2". Might as well use the stock ECS inlet that is fine. Hell I made 1050 on it with filter on.

Sounds

No issues. Then again I pressure wash my motor probably once a month and have no issues just taking a hose to it. Engine is made to get wet. A little rain on it won't hurt. Got sprinkeled on last week in fact going to walmart.

Just raised the car an inch. Tired of being so low.

There is a video above.

Yes I am a hermit. People are annoying.

Went out last night and did a quick photo shoot with a 2014 ZL1 and 2014 GTR. That was fun.

New inlet pipe looks great. I envy you for having a shop at your disposal. Would you please enlighten me on your catch can routing? I'm about to order a revExtreme...

Please don't. In fact, buy mine if you want one so I can buy a better one.

Driver valve cover to one inlet, other to blower inlet on pipe, and other to behind intake.
