right type of plastic piping would not melt.......

 

honkey..who you callin honkey no car running man

 

Thick walled ABS piping (like used in shop floor drainage pipes) is cheap (like 50 cents per foot) and will definitely not flex at all under heat and can handle tones of pressure.

Don't even bother with PVC and other stuff. That ABS will work, but if it were me I would just go to a local muffler shop and get them to cut/bend some thin walled exhaust piping, and your total shouldn't be more than $30-50.

 

what kind of volvo did that come from? car or truck? I want!

 

Go ahead mother ****** because i never said it was a performance upgrade, i was sticking up for the post that said it would hurt the radiator and make the temperature go up. Volvo wouldnt put an intercooler there if they knew it was gonna stop enough airflow from getting to the radiator. No need to be a smart *** when it is totally irrelivant to the thread. We all know that to go all out performance cheap is not the answer, but thats not to say that you cant use parts from other cars for performance. -Gabe

 

very interesting link...

 

Damn right, nice link, very in formative. I think i remember somewhere a link compairing stock ICers, but i forgot it. Anyone know what it is? it had all sorts from talons to volvos, FCs FDs, everything pretty much.

I've got 2 starion cores welded together with custom end tanks in one huge intercooler on my 2nd gen. Cost less than $150. Flows and cools like a champ. Viva junkyard wars! I refuse to pay high $$$ for something I can make myself. Does it work as well? Maybe or maybe not but the difference is NOT worth paying the extra several hundred dollars for IMO.

You guys need to calm down and stop getting personal. If you don't like something then don't do it. Just don't flame the next guy for it.

 

My point exactly, I derive aa certain sense of satisfaction by building my own stuff. An added plus is I don't dread the Credit Card Bill coming in every month.

 

Banzaitoyota, that is the link exactly my freind!

rotarygod- you, my man, are what the **** im talkin' about. Why spend more for somethign new when you can get something as close to as good, if not better, for a fraction of the cost. Good points man.
