FMIC Piping yes I searched blah blah

Ok so what custom FMIC is everyone using? I am thinkin on getting a core from Ebay. I was wondering about piping and how it worked for people who custom mounted it in front of the radiator? Pics are helpful. Any help ideas suggestions appreciated.
Thank You
Jeremy

The thing is, there not a place to buy "cheap IC piping." Good IC piping is made of good quality aluminum, which isn't cheap by my standards at all. If you want a good product you just have to pay. If you don't want a kit you'll have to find a local welder that will work with aluminum and is reputable enough to warrant the cost.

Yes it will work. But it will be heavier, hold heat longer, and not last as long. Plus it sure isn't as pretty
