Seen a few of those located there. I'd imagine it would be better for airflow than a dryer hose and it's certainly more aesthetically pleasing. Looks amazing though I'm really jealous but loving the build.

The gauges (except for the water temp) are set up to be seen very easily seen while driving. They work very well.
Radiator is getting vented and so I needed/wanted a straight intake. The 4" pipe and filter currently used is kind of difficult to route being so large. Still haven't moved the radiator to final position, and it will give more room for the intake when done.

Vibrations are gone for the most part. It actually got rid of all those vibrations I was complaining about earlier in the build thread as well. I was just assuming they had to do with the quite stiff mounts, but bad driveshaft was the culprit. Need to go through a check wheel bearings, wheel balance, and possibly driveshaft again at another shop, but it does vibrate at.. higher... rates of speed.
I actually had a "canyon" run yesterday. Car did extremely well. Temps were good, Oil got to 250 without an oil cooler when I was pushing it hard (until the highway pull at which it got to 265-ish), coolant was a good 210 through that section. Car handled really well without the front sway bar, much better than I was expecting. Car needs an oil cooler, raised a tad, coilovers adjusted, and better brake pads. Car stayed in 5th pretty much the entire time, it's wild and amazing having torque.
