Where did you buy the tubing from? I have a feeling I will be doing the same for my X.

I just got it all from a truck supply store called principal truck supply in columbus

Well unfortunately my king ranch took up my night yesterday with some repairs so I dont have a ton of progress to post but I did get the intercooler pipes made and tacked together. Also got the rest of the exhaust mocked up, just need to cut those sleeve fittings off that look like crap (just used for mockup) on the dump part and then weld the pipes up and all the piping is just about done!

Some firewall clearance pics for reference

No they didnt end up having it at the salvage yard. I had a couple things come up so I didnt get a chance to give you a call and I didnt want to call you too late. But I definitely still need one
