thats a nice setup there.
How's the heat on the tubing? If you're really trying to inch out every HP out of that, and the tubing gets quite hot, trying some Thermo-Tec wrapping. The heat can actually decrease your HP.

thats of course if you do or dont care for the shiny chrome look of the tubing or having it wrapped in "mummy" gear

To be honest it doenst get too hot at all. I am surpzied, but I think because it is away from ontop of the engine it doesnt get very hot. The elbow is the only part that can get pretty warm
The swoosh sound is very loud with the can strapped to the top. My car is extremely loud now.
I do feel a bit better throttle response but maybe this is because the noise makes me feel like im faster, but im happy with how my car sounds with the exhaust and this unique mod.

No I have a neoprene 3 inch to 2.5 inch reducer. It sits about 3 inches into the inlet itself.
It is a tight fit so I push it in, then I clamp the 3 inch section of it to the elbow which is held securely with a hose clamps and the bracket on the SC inlet.
It is very secure and airtight.

And just remember u need a civic intake pipe as well.
I just happen to have one here so it all worked out, not sure what else would work. Basically something need another 90 degree angle to bring it down by fog light

This type will work fine it has metal pipe for the 90 degree bend..
then you will connect the 90 degree bend to a civic intake pipe, then use the focus piece for the bottom portion.
Im sure theres other pieces u can use, it was luck that the civic pieace points the intake down into the bumper without cutting and i just extend this with teh focus pipe to put it by the fog light. It goes all the way to the bottom.,
