        Looks great! Stainless hot side and aluminum cold side is an awesome combo!

          It is, however weight isn't as big of a savings as you'd think. To do aluminum, you really need to use thicker wall tubing or else the customer will crush the tubing very easily if not careful with a basic t-bolt clamp. Running a stainless hot side you can use a thinner wall tubing so weight savings isn't really there anymore as far as that goes.

                  Right on, we will have to do a relocated washer fluid tank is all it seems. Kit will come with custom fabricated radiator hoses and all as well. Will have more info and pics shortly!

                    Couple updates, kit is near complete!

                    All that is left on the to-do list is:

                    Mount wastegate and re-route into down pipe.
                    Weld on BOV Flange
                    Weld on MAF Card flange
                    Route tube from Compressor inlet to air filter
                    relocate or fabricate coolant overflow tank















                    We flipped the upper radiator hose, trimmed 1" off and it fits terrific now. In original orientation it would sit on the crossover pipe. Tons of clearance to it now and it's the OEM hose!

                          Bringing some Carbon to the outside as well. I found a killer deal on a set of GM optional upgrade 21" wheels. One had a little curb rash in the red so we cleaned that up, carbon fiber in the centers and will re-do the red on the one lip. Should come out pretty cool!

                            Got a price point on this yet?

                              This kit should come in the same ballpark as our 4th gen V2 kit I am thinking based on what all is included and how everything is looking so far!
