What exhaust is that mate? I love saffs where the exit comes out at an upwards angle looks sweet! Like the intercooler but think your gonna have major problems with the D/V position behind the splitter, it'll get loads of road crap thrown at it I can't imagine rain water will do it any good when it's spraying up. The pipe from the I/C to the comp housing, does that run down round the alternator behind the bumper? Get rid of that Damp sound deadening aswell!
Loving your work mate!
