hey man sweet ride. question tho and im asking as im trying to do some mods my self, but where exactly do you run the cold air intake tube. i mean im just wondering if its something that it just fit in with a little work or is there cutting involved? I want to do this as i already have a weapon r intake on mine that replaced an intake that ran a tube directly under the map sensor houseing(was like that when i bought it)i was afraid that i would hit a deep puddle or something and suck up a gallon of water seeing how the tube was pre air filter. any insite would be great!

Man I got that trubendz dual kit on mine already.... you just turn them back into the middle? I already got the tuner mufflers on the car too. only reason I ask is because the cheaper body kit I found of the millenium kit according to the pic exits right in the middle unlike exiting on the side like the more expensive one
