Mine is mounted exactly like the one in this link:

The removal of the fog lights actually allows for some added airflow, though I would have liked to have kept them.

I had to buy a separate reservoir from Jegs to replace the original. I bolted it to the inner fender well just below where the original reservoir was.

Re: Inter cooler tubing
That's the one thing I'm trying to avoid too cuttin up the front for a FMIC. LT1's just don't look right w/ no fog lights. Still on the fence w/ the twin IC's or FMIC. I love my DGM carbon fiber fog light setup too much to get rid of but if it nets me more power then it's a serious consideration.

I looked for every possible combination of pipe routing to keep from having to relocate the battery (really didn't want to have to spend the money on the parts to move it), but there was no way to do it that I could see with 3" piping. At least not short of moving the radiator (if thats possible) or cutting up all the supports or even the hood.
