Help With Intercooler Piping

Hi, I have a Greddy IC (used).
I don't have the piping and I was wondering if somebody can tell me the actual size/angle/length for each piece.
Thank you,
Giovanni

Are you trying to make your own piping?

Well, I was going to buy universal piping, so to speak, and do that.
BTW, the kit I saw in the link you sent (maybe the picture is not what it looks like) wouldn't fit this IC, because the lower IC inlet is already facing up, unlike the one of the stock IC, which is square with the stock IC back face.

Are you sure you have a Greddy SMIC? It seem the 3-piece kit fits for these guys:

I went back in the garage to make sure.
It has "Greddy" embossed on either side of the IC and it looks exactly like the one in the pictures you sent me. The lower inlet is coming straight up, so just to use the stock pipe as a reference, the pipe I would need only has a 90 deg bend on the turbo end, not on the IC end, it would go straight down to it.

Maybe I know the angles I need

After further investigating the link I just posted, I believe the pipes are 90 deg and 150 deg (or 30 if you want to call it that).
Opinions?

BTW, I was looking also for confirmation of the diameter, the inlets on the IC look like they are 65 mm.

Any takers?

The piping should be 2.75" (or about 70mm).

OK, is that outer diameter? Because the inner diameter I measured was around 65mm, which would be about 2.55 inches...
BTW, thank you for the assistance.

Yes, OD (i.e. when you buy couplers, you get 2.75" couplers).

Thanks, that I guess was a question caused by my (still considerable) ignorance of the matter. :-(
