The header looks cool (although I see no provision for an O2/wideband) but the intake just confuses me.
That's a lot of time & effort to duplicate what is generally considered the worst possible intake design- the open cone filter behind the radiator. Unless wrapped, the metal tube is probably more prone to heat soak than the rubber part you replicated.
A complete success as a welding exercise, I think it fails as an upgrade.

been awhile since iv done any updates on the fc. front end is finally done. everything has been completely rebuilt with not a single old bolt. all new poly bushings from energy suspension. new tein springs amd AGX adjustable shocks. all the shock mouts have been replaced with factory replacement parts. I also built a new equal length header. I was not happy with the weight of my old one. all that's left on this build is the rear bushings. everything under the car has been replaced. heres a few pics
