Hard piping without GReddy elbow?

I was wondering if there is a hard pipe kit that contains the "S" pipe to the bottom of the IC and the striaight pipe that goes to the STOCK elbow.

I dont wish to purchase a Greddy elbow so i was wondering if i can get one that fits the factory elbow??

The two piece kit that i have seen 4 sale in the 7 store and other places is used only in conjunction with the the shorter GReddy elbow. Which means the straight upper pipe is too long. for the stock elbow.

I just want to get rid of the faulty accordian style OEM piping we have in favour of this for reliabilty

I have those two pipes, I bought them about 6 months ago and since then have changed the pipes minus the elbow. I have the pipes and don't need them anymore, basically brand new. If your interested in them PM me with a price. Find an elbow for cheap and your in there. Let me know.

The HKS intercooler hard pipes will mate up to the stock elbow. I had a set before I went the Greddy way.

It was great. I had no problems with it. The only thing is that the HKS pipes come unpolished.

They are very hard to come by. I say a set on ebay just recently. You might have to go new as they are very rare unlike the Greddy pipes that everyone has.

The SAMCO hoses kit works with the stock setup.

After installinga greddy SMIC I continued to use the SAMCO upper hose, cut a little shorter.
