not the ones the filter is located at the end of but the pipes that actually bolt up to the turbos front and back is there any aftermarket ones made of metal vs the plastic... either way i need them any one selling.

 

The ones that bolt to the turbos aren't plastic.

 

THE front elbo is some type of plastic like material if not plastic the rear part is aluminum. I for one have not seen any after market replacements. The front plastic part that is not plastic cost about $80 from the dealer. my mechanic was going to make an aluminum one and he got the bend but did not weld on the flanges,

 

The newest Greddy intake has a smooth pipe that replaces the accordian thing that goes to the primary, but I don't know of anyone who makes something to replace the aluminum piece going to the secondary.

 

You mean the Y-pipe? Are you trying to get rid of the plastic pipe that goes from the turbos to the intercooler? I think this is what you're refering to? There is a "efini y-pipe" which is metal.

 

no i am refering to the pipes on the turb inlets that actually bolt to the turbo themselves

 

I don't think I have ever seen any aftermarket pipes for those.

 

but i need the stock ones then can anyone help

 

Try placing a "Wanted to Buy" in the For sale 3rd gen section. I bet you will get some responses fairly quickly.

Good Luck

 

The front pipe is just powdercoated in a black wrinkle finish... its metal.

It would almost have to be to be bolted directly to the turbo... they get pretty hot.

 

try the different online mazda parts dealers.

 

no, it is some type of plastic.

 

The front (primary) intake pipe is glass filled nylon just like the stock y pipe to intercooler pipe, and the stock intake elbow, The rear (secondary) intake pipe is Aluminum.

 

Thank you , Garfinkle opened up his front pipe to match the enlarged turbo intake and it was not metal ( alum ) .
