Tub Time!
Since I don't sit slammed I really didn't have many rub issues. Occasionally at some drift events, with banked turns, I would get that over the hood smoke from the front at full compression but it was nothing more than a highly polished spot on the inner fender. What really drove me to do this was the previous owners attempt to route piping. Now I bought my car stock but came to find out that the previous owner had attempted a T3 KA-T setup but popped the motor shortly after the install. They replaced the KA, took it as much as possible back to stock and he traded it in to a Subaru dealership for a WRX.
With the motor out of the bay, you can really see why I wanted to address this...
(the second picture was after a small amount of cutting. I basically connected the holes to the factory hole where the harness was routed)
Here is how it went from there...
Here is everything I pulled, Took a minute and dropped a lot of the factory brackets as well. I grabbed one of those spot well drills from Harbor freight and it worked like a champ. I will admit though, those things will get away from you. If you've ever used one, then you know what I'm talking about.
And with the tires back on and weight on the car at full lock...
