John - the new pipe that you installed across/behind the radiator, is that insulated or heat resistant? If not, wouldn't it blow hot air through to the air box?

I think John said he is planning to wrap the tubing... I still think he should just have some steel piping fabricated tho

Yes, it is a must! fully insulated or heat resistant (especially in the center and driver side becasue the coolant system heats a lot. Also no air leaking! I have all insulated on mine too.

Looks good John. After seeing it, I'm thinking about doing it also. I just like the RPI scoop for the passenger side. I think it looks weird with just one side.
