^ Good find Windcalmer. I have only seen one instance where having roll cage saved the persons life, and that was when they actually rolled their EG, if it wasn't there then they would have been crushed from the impact and killed. but the cage prevented it from crushing them

The thing that bothered me from that post was the fact that they said it stiffens the chassis and prevents crush zones therfore transferring more force to your body. But If IM wearing a harness that wouldnt be that huge of a problem would it?

Yes it would still be a problem. A harness is designed to work in tandem with a helmet and a neck brace. If you slam into a another car at 50mph wearing a harness and with the chassis incapable of crushing then you are transferring almost all of the impact force to you. Now if the car can crush like it was designed to then the car is taking a good amount of the force and thus you feel less of the impact.

Do you get my point?

everything looks good, so i'm just going to throw in my suggestion,

change out the red vacuum hose for a black one
remove the injen sticker on the intake for a cleaner look

Yea Im looking to replace a lot of hoses. I was planning on removing the sticker tommorow and giving the whole pipe a nice polish and maybe pick up a black connector for it also.
