i also thought about doing something like that.... when you drive it around, the blower itself gets damn hot, and the pipe going across the manifold gets hot to. but if you feel the cooler it is cold, if you just drive normal, if you are boosting the pipes and blower are on fire, and the cooler is just ambient.....

Haha, very nice, making me miss my 03 Cobra. Stock Eaton doesn't get as loud as whipple or kennebell but with 6lbs over factory it's loud and WOT. Very nice and clean set up.....and I am very very critical about work quality.
