Intercooler piping

jaggermouth · 07-28-08, 02:05 AM

I don't have access to a welder or a bender for quite a while, but Im going to need an intercooler set up for my REW FC project.
Would any of you be interested in making some piping? What costs would I be looking at?

Some one doing that is going to need someone with your exact setup to make pipes off of. I would get the engine bay done with all but the pipes and see where you stand. You may find you need very little if any work if thought out well enough. Or you may need a ton of cutting and welding.

I don't think anyone would want to take on a project like that unless they had the car in thier possion or already made an exact replica of yours and still had the pipes or the exact dimensions. I did my piping by mounting the intercooler knowing where I wanted the filters, then cut & welded all the piping together.

Yeah that sounds like a smart idea.
When the time comes to get pipes, what places would be a good start to have it done? Exhaust shops?

Best place will be a shop that does fab work on cars in house. Exhaust shop may work if they weld aluminum for other things or if you plan on using steel IC pipe work.
