my questions are:
the county i live in requires emissions, will the piping clear the stupid air pump that im forced to keep on?
was there any cutting in the front of the engine bay to allow the pipes to go through?
as far as the air flow meter goes, did you just leave it open, or put on some type of filter?
i cant wait to get all of these things and put a fmic on. thanks for this post.

theres a little cutting involve , there are allready two holes behind the headlights you need to make it bigger for the pipe to go through...no big deal...the only thing is you need to remove the windshield wiper reservoir to get access..

Once I measured my pipe to determine where I wanted my cut, I drew a couple of lines on it with a sharpie. Then put a couple of layers of black electrical tape all the way around the pipe on those lines. The 2 wraps of tape act like a "guide" for the little wheels -- just snug the wheels right up against the tape, put a little pressure on the handle and rotate the cutter. After about 4 or 5 rotations you have a very nice clean & even cut. Take the tape off and you're set.
EDIT: One of these
