How about some engine ****. I suck at taking pictures. Shawn even went as far as bead blasting the water pump and alternator bracket. He probably doesn't think I noticed.

The center cowl pin ad to be removed. It's tight but clears. If it's a problem you can also put 3/16-1/4 inch spacers on the cradle mounts.

I got the 4 inch donwtube stuff from Chris at ECS. It's from thier turbo setup. It's not a cheap mod because you have to lay the radiator down to clear it.
