Engine Bay Makeover

Was tired of looking at a stock layout. This is the culmination of a several months. Went from basically stock w/ GAB:


To 05' SE-R engine cover, Frankencar mid-pipe (painted w/ thermal black), Apexi filter, Otto FSTB, NWP block plate & spacers:


P.S. Anyone know what this hose is from?

Looks so much better, and that hose. I heard it was a some breather hose from the Transmission or something like that. It doesn't go anywhere

Thanks guys. Good to know that hose isn't too important. However, it kind of makes me wonder if sucking up the dusty air down there is safe. Should I look into a breather filter to replace that hose?

Its not actually 'sucking' anything, rather its a pressure release for the transmission. It came like that from the factory, no need to worry.


Lookin good though man.

The sound is pretty addicting actually, heh. The car seems a little tighter in bends up front with the FSTB, but I know it's nothing compared to the RSB/LTB feel. I'm really wanting to modify a LTB so that I can fit one around my y-pipe...
