NC Help with M2 medium IC piping

I have the pipe that connects to greddy elbow and throttle body, but I'm missing the hotside pipe connecting to the y-pipe. Any suggestions on a pipe set that would fit both or just the hotside? No airpump btw. I've searched and most of what I find involves the M2 intake piping. Thanx for your help.

As I see it you have a couple options:

- Try and find someone willing to sell just the pipe you need on the used market. This doesn't seem too likely.

- Take your car to a performance/fab shop and have them make you a custom pipe.

- Using couplers and clamps, take pre-bent pipe and make it fit.

- Spend an afternoon at the local pick-and-pull lot. You might find something that'll fit 95% right with a little trimming. I've had good results with pipes from old turbo Volvos but they're just shy of the 2.75" diameter you want.

I'm in your same situation. I bought a builder's kit of various 2.75" aluminum bends and a TIG welder and am going to learn to do it myself. The learning curve is pretty steep but I want to be able to fab/repair parts.

This is what comes with the M2 medium, looks like the hot side pipe is just a tight 90 deg pipe, shouldn't be too hard to make, just get a 2.75" 90 deg pipe and a long coupler like the one in this picture.

Found this in someone's FS thread.

On my current setup I use a 90 degree silicone coupler to connect to the y-pipe. Makes it even easier. However, I still run the airpump so my pipe has to snake around that.
