Thanks for the comments guys, I'm glad that it's nothing that I did wrong. The IC is the AMS 3.5". The pipe is an ETS uicp that I ordered flat black and the couplers are special order from a local shop that subs them out from someone locally. All black with no logo...very stealthy I just wish I could have found t-bolts.


The Transformers sticker comments are funny to me as it is ironically the only sticker that I have on the car. Hell I don't even want base stickers on the front wind shield. It's just something that I put on because I was an 80's kid and with the new movies recently out my daughter is nuts over them. After 3 Evos and almost 5 years on the forums, I've seen much much worse! lol

where the sticker is placed, I wouldn't worry at all, it'll come off clean, no paint to worry over.

Nice touch! No ribbing or sarcasm intended.

FWIW, mine looks the same, a little "off", not a perfectly square fit with the plastic sides.

I wouldn't worry about it.

It does look like the intercooler is just ever so slightly off to the left, but I probably would've never noticed unless you said something haha. It could be the autobot stick being a little crooked that is making it look a bit more deceiving too though.

And there you have it, your car is off center- its not the IC! Quality went south on the X'S.
