Intake Hard pipes

Anyone know of a place that still makes hard pipes for a stock or M2 airbox to replace the accordion rubber tubes?

Thanks,
Dan

I would guess the Rx7store's hard pipes would work. They are the only ones that line up with a stock airbox that I know of... and since the M2 inlets match the stock hoses, I'm guessing they are the same. I think only the top pipe lines up on the ebay ones.

I wonder if the cheap $40 ebay pipes would work.

I've seen them as low as $19 on e-bay, but the bottom pipe doesn't look like it has the right bend.

After looking at the picture at the Rx7store they look identical to the $19.00 ones I found on e-bay. Guess I will take a chance on the e-bay ones.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but the same company might make a product you need.

I've got a set of Ebay hardpipes - you get what you pay for, but with a little TLC they're OK.

It would be VERY hard to get the primary pipe to work with the stock airbox. The secondary pipe wouldn't be that tricky, though.

Really, none of them are a perfect fit. All of them look like they would when you test fit them without the couplers, but as soon as the couplers go on, you can throw "perfect fit" out the window.

To add to what Dale said, the pipe for the primary turbo will fit (somewhat) but the coupler needs to be trimmed down.

The secondary turbo pipe fits really good, with no issues.

the Australian RX-7SP had carbon fibre intake pipes that do fit to a standard air box
