Since I couldn't install my IC yesterday like I was planning because of the IAC problems I aquired and can't figure out, I decided to tweak it a little bit before I stick it on th car.
Here are a few more shots:
It's amazing what 3 minutes with a bead roller can do. I thought about making the bead more pronounced, but I don't want to have to work any harder than I already will to muscle the hoses over the ends of the pipe, and it doesn't take much of a hump for the clamps to get the necessary bite to prevent the hoses from blowing off. I'm not sure why MP decided to mill out a groove on the new units rather than just beading the ends of the pipe, as it seems like a cheaper and easier solution that works equally well.
