Christmas has been good to me and I will be installing one of these. I don't suppose anyone has the pictures from the original write up. It is fantastic just written but pics are always nice. If not I suppose I should grab some and put them up!

Bolting it in is easy enough. The problem that most people have is that the outlet comes out straight back then does a 90. On my car that means it hits the alternator pulley. I had mine modified so it comes out at a 45 so it doesn't interfere with anything.
If no one from the future comes back to stop you from doing it then how bad of a decision can it really be?

Unless you have a SR then it has lots of room since it's shorter then the L series.

I'm on holiday right now, but I do have the pics on my laptop. I haven't logged into photobucket in years. I didn't realize they would shut down my account. I'll see if I can get the pics back up.
