i work in the graphic industry.... to make a long story short.... the base is made of styrine (2 layers)... i traced the underhood blanket on a thin layer, cut it... then cut the second layer to shape... i had a 3d wall hanging so i cut excess off.... then cut a matching hole in second layer.... glued it all together.... some sanding will be needed on the sides... then wrapped a printed decal on the face and sides.... then on top of that i placed printed text.... this way if you need to add or remove the text u can.... or otherwise i could have put the text in the first print itself... now as for the push clips drill a hole if you wish.... i am choosing to 2 way tape it, coz i didnt want holes.... the 3d figure made it a pain.... if a person just did a sign it would be very simple to make....

thx guys..... i am happy with the results.... it was a lil bit of work.... the best part is you can do anything you want to do.... you can be extreme or simple.... if you attend car shows and wanted a sign, i believe this is a better option then a run of the mill sign....

The pipe is fine.. it only needs to be the side of the Outlet of the turbo.. If memory serves.. .Even a GT35 has only a 2.5"
