Default Killerglass Question

I want to get the killerglass put in, and in Christmas the BF is getting me the Supercharger, what i want to know is, do i just install it with a new and better quality hose..pretty much the same position the factory hose is at right now..just want to be sure i will have enough space for the SC to fit in..oh i did a google search and found these pics of a tC with the killerglass installed..So yo guys think doing it like this will be ok





OH and i could not leave out a pic of a tC with the SC in

i don't see anything custom about it, only that i read somewhere that its a pink tinted glass, other than than that its a standard killerglass..i too have a pic of her set up



But for some reason hers looks much closer to the radiator shroud, but it could be the angle of the picture

Yes, my Killerglass was the first tinted pink one. Also, it IS custom made to work with the supercharger, it's not the "standard" Killerglass setup.

Do you know what they had to do to make it custom for the supercharger?

i dunno tina, the killerglass part looks exactly the same..
i can imagine though, the install be slightly different.

like when cutting your stock radiator hose to install.. hah... you can make leave more of it on.. if you need to.

wouldn't know for sure if there was anything else really custom about it specifically for a S/C.. cause yea... doesn't look different in shape or size.

It looks to me like any other Killerglass, they must be making them now to be able to work with the SC, because i found this on the Scikotics website,,Quoted by Killerglass Tim himself

^^ so from what i'm reading.. the glass is exactly the same...

it's just the choice of the rubber hose part for easier installation that is different.

Not really feeling that oversized polished valve cover in the first pics, Tina's looks way better

and heres a pic of my set up, but it will be changing soon, i hate the position it was installed in, i will be doing the same install as above, just need a new hose and those heat clamps



(All engine bay lighting on..OLD pic. of before header was in)
