Stock Intercooler Piping

I've tried searching, but not in the archives yet. Trying to replace the 2 elbows from the intercooler (IC) to the throttle body (TB) and intercooler (IC) to air intake tube (IAT). The IC to TB may be just be a straight up elbow 54mm (ish)...? The IC to IAT a 45mm to 50mm (so 1 3/4"x 2")?

The joint straight coupler just a 50mm (2").

Thinking about HPS Performance Products to replace some of the OEM parts on my car.

Thanks,

Greg O.

I've got the OEM elbow that goes between the IC and what you're calling the IAT (aka - Charge Pipe) that's in like new condition. Shoot me a PM if interested in buying it, I'm getting rid of my excess FC stuff.

Thanks, I have an extra set of each, but the rubber is almost as hard as the originals.

I ordered the HTSC-200 ($11) and HTSER90-175-200 ($40) from HPS. In hindsight, you only really need to order the elbow as what you will need to trim off will be enough to replace the straight coupler as well.

For the straight coupler, you can use a short length of compressor hose. I got mine at O'Reilly for about $2. It has worked great for over a decade.
