Intake with new piping instead of stock rubber hoses

Just put in a fulidyne radiator. The top neck of the radiator is bent up instead of the stock radiator that is bent down. There for the stock air box won't fit, so I need a new intake. I am looking for a kit that has Aluminum piping so I can get rid of the rubber hoses. I have looked all over the net and all the kits I have see have been useing the stock rubber hoses. Please let me know what kits are good and will replace my stock hoses

Thank you

PS I would like to keep the smog pump and BOVs run in to the intake

sounds like the radiator isn't install correctly never heard of a radiator swap that required a different intake.

You can buy hard pipes that replace the rubber ones at rx7store.net. I believe they are 100 bucks and they come with teh couplings and clamps.


EDIT: found linky http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/polishedpipekit.htm

You must have installed it wrong..or gotten the wrong rad? It def shouldnt have to make you get new intakes. But if you want them anyways theres always just hardpipes(rx7store has them, and ebay!), HKS RS Intakes, or Greddy Airinx Intakes.

Something is wrong, my installation was one the cleanest aftermarket mods I have ever done.

PS SAMCO makes some nice silicon hoses ($$$); but will not help you as they are an exact dimensioal copy of factory hoses
