Its temporary until I get my battery box.

Alright guys need some help. The AEM bypass valve I have is a 3" and the piping is 2.5". I cant get the bypass valve to stay on any suggestions?

looking good! keep it up! do they make 2.25 AEM bypass?

^Wasnt sure, but I have this one....and I really dont want to spend $52.xx for another one lol. I didnt buy it btw I got this stuff in a trade form a member here.

Nice

TITS....big DD props for you....i like your engine bay...come over to cali and we can start taking my AC and relocate the batt .

Good job!

Why did you make so many cuts?

You could have cut it like this and made the longer piece shorter to attach the bypass and kept the battery up front.

Yup that what I used to get mine to fit

Looks good mushroom, just make sure you get a heavier battery cab;e when you get a chance and I believe since your battery is the acid type you will need to vent it to the outside to prevent fumes from building up

^Who said I didnt like fumes:flash: No really though its gonna be done a lot better later on, once I get my battery box and some other stuff. For now the 4 guage is perfect and not affecting anything. Things are like they were when I switch on accesories etc.

^Bitesize I actually moved my intake and shortened it a bit. Plus I was wanting to relocate mt battery anyway. Makes the engine bay just so much cleaner.Also got my bypass valve to fit properly. Also sanded the paint off since it wasnt going to stay on anyway, and its now just plain, but I kind of like it better. Pics coming after I take some daytime shots.

Oh yeah also the reason mine has so many cuts is because i have to route it in between the auto shifter cable and the brake line of course.

I just used an old belt cut it into two small sections wrapped that around the pipe, then put the rubber coupling from the valve on top of that. Works like a charm!

Ok well I wasnt happy the way the cai was sitting, so i shortened it and moved some pieces around and voila Im finally done. The paint kept chipping too so im just gonna leave it like this.

Looks better unpainted.

^yeah the paint wasnt holding anyway. XD

i would be carefull with that brake line...when you drive the engine will tilt back and forth and it might start rubbing

Thats why the padding is there.

Well here are my new wheels, just gotta go pick em up off my other car tomorrow. They're 35mm offset but Im gonna make em work. :) Need new rubber first though.
