behind the front bumper support--its tight but it does fit--then just ever so slightly angle it backwards.
It has a built in bung for a temperature sensor at the bottom--which is nice to have. Also cut the top half off the front bumper support--it is internally separated by a solid sheet of metal, for more airflow across the top of the cooler and that support acts like a large heatsink

heres a little better pic of the way its mounted and what the front support looks like after cutting--since that picture i have extended the cut all the way across. My secondary radiator is mounted on the front side of the same beam--its a 21X7 cooler. So it is not very tall.
I now have my intake outside the engine bay too. Cutting that support bar gave me much more room so I could use a regular AEM filter.

BHR's mid pipe in action



With the mid pipe flange bolts broken, it resulted in a nice fire show.

Yeah, it's not broken really. I had a stock catback and it didn't flow enough so the hardware popped so it could breathe better.

catback is ordered
oil leak in relo kit is fixed
GOODbox gauges are installed

Turbosmart bypass to blowoff valve is up next. The inlet/outlet diameters are different that the one I was running so I am making some silicon reducers today to mate with the 1" in/out on the blower kit. I have some proper ones ordered for arrival next week.
