Default help with charge pipes

hey i was messing around with getting my charge pipes laid out the other day even though my setup probably wont be complete until spring. my question is, with a FMIC, how do you run the drivers side charge pipes to the IC on a 6th gen Civic? Would you run them under the car or would you drill a hole right under the washer fluid?

if you have any pics that would help too - thanks

btw heres my intercooler

charge pipes are easy to route its just how much pipe you have and how many couplings you have. Shortest is the best and having the shortest is going to require some cutting. If I was you I would cut a hole so that I could route them right. Just my 2cents

You can go under (just make sure you wont scrape). I just ripped the washer fluid out. I dont have sprayers on my hood anyway.

it looks like i'll probably need to take out the washer fluid or relocate it because my car is kinda low and i dont want to scrape.

thanks for the help guys.
