i didnt know how much you painted it, im guessing you took the engine out or at least a fair bit of it to paint the support?

Thanks :D Yh it's not bad. makes a good sound. but u should get a heat shield for it too, i did just because i thought it was taking in some hot air. Also reason my one off my manifold cover is off coz it is being painted. Below is pic with heat shield and with a vid on youtube with only the induction kit.
