Nice...maybe you can do mine too! :D
I take it you just got multiple bends and cut what you needed? |
yeah, i spent like 200$ on 2 1/2" bends and went at it... took me 5 hours start to finish
|
so you bought prebent pipe and have an aluminum welder or what?
|
lolz this is what my friend did as well, only he used plumbing pipes that are dull aluminum and it came out beautiful. He cut them and got extra couplers to make the angles right.
|
I think you did a great job. The thing is along the way you got a education of sorts. We all know how we would do things if we had the money or equipment but sometimes it more valuable to just dig in ourselves. I like the setup and thats a big cooler.

Get rid of the stock intake elbow! get a Greddy!
|
Hey, those came out real nice. Did they come polished, or you do them yourself? I'm gonna need to do some pipe work to get my TO4R hooked up to my vmount this week. I'll probably try to get the car to a truck shop to have them cut the inlet pipe on the IC and rotate and reweld it, but I need something to get me to the shop. I've got the stock IC flex hoses, but if there's something else that comes along and works better, I"ll pick it up and sort out my couplings.
