Quite a worthwhile modification, MJ. Well done. That intake setup looks like 300+ horsepower!
Know that your pictures are from a test fitment, but don’t forget those zip-ties:

thx john... i wish i had 300+ hp... lol
don't really need zip ties near the splitter...
i need it towards the airbox but as u can see, i can't put them on since the tube isn't angled right to go straight in...
i'm hoping i can get custom tubes so it will fit better...
will go to this 'hose' place next week and get some info...

Removed 2nd cat
heard i'll gain more if i remove 2nd cat so it can exhale better...
since c32 airbox breathes more air, it makes perfect sense...
plus, gotta do it b4 dyno tune...
it's definitely growls more than b4 and throatier...
job done in 45min... thx to AAA!
here's the pics...

Ahh... I must do this soon too 
Looks great!
edit: I thought that exhaust shops wont remove working cats, whatd you do to get around this? Im assuming that w/o the secondary cats, you'll still pass emissions, correct?

i'm trying my best to, trying to work out a price. it shouldn't really matter, it's at the end anyways. i'm still trying to think something up, and hopefully the guys at AAA can give me somoe suggestion.

and thats definitely going to affect the sound...
you're taking the airflow going to the muffler and cutting it in half!
the only way i'd want to do is to saw off the tips i have now
and then lead one pipe from each outlet of the muffler to each side of the car
which will then split off into 2 eisenmann tips each.
which means the muffler will either have to be pushed more towards the front of the car...or just center mounted. but i think the muffler is too big to be mounted in the center.

nah, i'm not going to put hte pipe before the muffler, i'm tryin to get it after the muff. hopefully they can work something out. i like your idea though, to saw off both, i think that the tip is too "in" for my taste. i'll just have to wait and see, haha.
