Homemade ISR mod

well i thought someone around here could mandrel bend my 24" of alumnium pipe i got off ebay for $10 but i was wrong. so i improvised. a few connectors from home depot and a little chopping and it was done. let me know what you guys think..(i know my engine bay could use some cleaning but haven't found an effective way to get that mud off yet...)

I've had ood luck using napalm...cleans the entire vehicle...every time.

Seriously, just use some degreaser and a hose. Worked fine for me.
