You don't want to straighten that up?

If you shorten that straight pipe on the passenger side a bit it looks like it should lift the passenger side of the intercooler up and make it straight.

Were you able to do that with the universal piping kit you bought? If so gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised

You should start embedding your pictures too rather than making us click and open them in new tabs

When you shorten that straight pipe that runs behind your passenger headlight, which will hopefully straighten up your intercooler, you should at the same time lower that pipe that runs under the radiator hose. The last thing you want is the hot radiator hose sitting on a charge pipe giving you massive heat soak and basically undermining all the work the intercooler just did. I was able to get about 1/2" clearance on my pipe under the radiator hose, and I also added some heat reflective tape there too.

How is your intercooler secured/mounted? Or do you have it just sitting there being held up from the charge pipes themselves?

You want to make sure you have a good 5 or 6 inches of straight pipe immediately prior to your MAF. Looks like with the current positioning you should be good to go with the straight section.

Sure you can I post all the time from my phone. All you do is add img tags around the URL.

The URL's you posted above. Just put [ I M G ] in front of the URL, and then put [ / I M G ] behind the URL. (Don't put any spaces at all, I just had to space it to get it to show up).

Here's a visual example -

Your first URL, when you post it, add the tags at the beginning and at the very end. Like this:

Then that photo will show up inline on the thread like this:

Coming together for sure

Did you have to trim your radiator fan shroud? I relocated a couple of the fan support "beams" on mine with plastic weld
