I actually like that XLR, it's unique but not overzealous. That and the amount of custom fab work is beyond recognition, not sure why you think it should be in this thread.

The mix of lines on that XLR just doesn't work for me. Also, the way the line of the hood is sloping back up throws me way off. Parts of it look nice and are pretty neat but overall I think it misses the mark, my opinion.

I like how the bracket/strap steel is painted red to match the car.

Could be worse, could have a y-pipe and two air filters lol. I still find it amusing that someone thought that intake was serious and they replicated it

Why is there a cold air hose feeding the closed end of the air filter? If they opened up that end of the air filter, then they are feeding the engine with un-filtered air.

Duct Tape is a legit mod!
How else are you going to connect dryer vent to an air filter?

The hole at the end of the filter is still filtered but it still fails. He should try venting a straw 3/4 of the way up and then try sucking up water with it.

That prelude is always at the Asian restaurant by my house, it now has a huge blue wing to match. Houstonrx8er must have taken that going to Northern Tool on a tool run.
