Intercooler piping question

Hi !

Does anyone know where I could get the stock intercooler piping diagram (measurements of lengths and angles) ? I found someone locally that can do it for about $100 for 2 pipes similar to Greddy's. If it comes out cool, I could probably get more of them and ship them out if someone would want them. Or if someone has got Greddy's piping off the car, can you do the measurements and post it here ?
If anyone has measured it already, can you post your sketch/diagram with measurements.

I would get my stock pipes off my Rex and measure them or just take them to the shop, but I don't have it home and won't get it for another month or so.

Thanks,
Tadej

I can't help you out, but I have a question:
Why would you go to the bother and spend money replacing the stock intercooler piping while still using the stock intercooler?!?
(unless the stock piping is damaged or something)

Just upgrade the intercooler to a Greddy FMIC kit from Rx7 Store. You won't be sorry

My stock rubber piping needs to be replaced and while I'm at it, I may get the stainless steel pipes
Intercooler with it's $1k mark is way out of reach at the moment. And I wouldn't get FMIC, as I understand they cause engine overheating if driven spirited (the radiator doesn't get enough airflow through it to cool down the cooling system).

I can get the upgraded SMIC later and I think I will be reuse the original piping, no ?
