yea any pepboys autozone will have it i got the piping from there along with the intake.....the piping is plastic like most of the new cars manifold reason i chose plastic over aluminum is because metal heats up and you dont want hot air going into your engine.....the set up for the piping and the inlet hoses was a little under 50 bucks
