where can i get Intercooler piping for an FMIC

i am going to go with a FMIC and i was wondering what would be the best size IC to go with and if there is anyplace where i can buy IC piping instead of bending it myself?

well, whats your power goal? anything under 350rwhp 2 1/2" is more that enough.... but after that, start thinking about 3" piping.....

yeah, ebay is gonna be your cheapest bet.... i got a 12x24x3 intercooler and 3" piping for $470..

im not gonna be anywhere near 350 unless i spray. i found an IC on ebay but i cant find the right piping and i looked all over the place. there is one place but i dont want to spend 1k. im just gonna be running 10 psi out of the stock turbo.


how would i make this kit work cause i know some of these pipes dont have the right bends

buy some univeral bends and make it yourself or take it to a muffler shop and have them bend all the pipes for you with a mandrel or smooth bender

'Vipers' i wish i woulda got that kit 8 90 degree bends would've been better than the kit that 'rx7_TII' is talking about to hard to install, 'vipers' is smoother and looks easier to do

yeah, i wouldnt go w/ that kit... looks like you have to really think about which pipes to use and where to use them.... mine was simple... i had no choice but to use 90 degrees... but to me, the final look is exactly what i wanted....
