Medium SMIC Piping
I bought a used medium SMIC and the piping that came with it is rubbing my good and strut tower bar. Does anyone know where I can buy both pipes like the M2? That's the only one I've seen that bend around the air pump and don't rub and are polished nice. If anyone is selling some or knows where I can find them or have them made, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks, Erin.

I was told that it was made by Spearco and is the exact dimensions of the M2 medium. I've confirmed the dimensions, the only difference is the corners aren't rounded like the M2. However, the guy I bought it from was not running an air pump and had piping made for both sides. When installed on his car, it looks great, but I overlooked his air pump was missing. When I installed it, it isn't as clean with the air pump that I am keeping for the high flow cat. I have seen the piping that M2 makes for their intercooler that bends around the air pump and I would like to get that pipe.
Plus, these pipes are 3" dia. and do not have the flanged lip on the ends to hold the couplers with the hose clamps. For instance, the Greddy elbow. Any idea where I can pick up these pipes?

Just because it has the same exterior dimensions as the M2 med DOES NOT mean the M2 piping will work. Even the slightest change in mounting angle and the M2 piping will be useless to you. Your best bet is to have a local exhaust/performance shop fab you some pipes. Some 2.5" piping and a few welds and you'll be good to go. That way you'll know for sure the pipes are going to fit properly.
