after some googling i found two options for the core for an IC and the end tanks i need. But i cant find IC piping to save my life. I dont need much and i cant use a kit for what i am doing. Where can i find some?


If you need me, ill be waist deep in google search results.

 

Go to a local exhaust shop who deals in stainless pipe. You can have them bend it, or rent a bender and do it yourself.

 

You can buy mandrel bends from summit. Then have the exhaust shop fab the rest. But I will let you know I have the Greddy kit and the design is top notch

Go to the bottom!

 

Cheapest place I found...

http://www.roadraceengineering.com/mandrelbends.htm

 

Get mandrel bends from JC whitney, then use RRE's silicone couplers/hoses and what not. If you want, Jason and I can probably bend, put beads on, and install the entire front mount setup for you for a small fee, provided you also provide the materials. Jason custom made his FMIC piping, it was a sinch.

 

Ebay! You can get anything on ebay, including IC piping, prebent or strait, just look!

 

AHHHHH! its a ******* peice of pipe. anywhere that sells pipe has it.

 

Are you sure?

Less than a handfull of people had them in MD, VA, DC

 

i hope yur kidding. if yur not, please tell me the differnce between aluminum pipe and intercooler piping.

 

not a lot of places have a mandrel bender though....

 

there is a place that sells them rediculously cheap but damnit i cant find it! ****! i was saving that link, too. i'll post it when i do find it.

pat

 

There's no such thing as "intercooler" pipe. It's just pipe! Mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, rubber, whatever you want; just go to a place that sells pipe!

The most obvious place to go is an exhaust shop, or you could use that amazing invention, the Yellow Pages.

 

It seems taht you all can find it very easily but here in MD its hard to find, so could someone just be nice and tell me where on the internet sells 3 inch aluminum pipe?

 

True, but not everybody does mandrel bend!

 

There is a difference between crush and mandrel bends.

 

the problem i have had is i would prefer aluminum piping thanks to the glorious ODOT who puts salt on the roads which wont go away til around mid-april to early may. Plus, i like aluminum better for a few other me-being-picky reasons.

 

cds00bsmg, i might take you up on that offer when i get all the parts together. Can you put in a BOV flange?

 

who needs mandrel pent when youve got a welder?

 

i would rathar reduce the number of welds.

 

I went to an electrical suppy store and got conduit bends excellent selcetion and very low price . they use it in walls to run wires.

 

Those conduit bends are aluminized steel.

In my opinion anyway, the only choice for intercooler piping is stainless or aluminium. You don't want internal rusting...

 

that just screams ghetto-fabulous

 

Why? It's exactly the same as any other bend, other then what I mentioned above.

 

those tend to be typcial carbon steel. Wont last two winters without problems.
