intercooling piping?

[dsmfocker]

ok so i bought this intercooler off ebay its huge and i have a pipe bender at our shop can i use 2.5in exhaust piping? or what piping should i be using.

2.5 should be plenty big enough, it would probably be easier to match the size of the endtanks on your intercooler and exhuast side on your turbo though. My intercooler kit came with 2.5" pipe and 1 pipe than was 2.5-2.0 than narrowed down to for the exhuast side of the turbo.

No the ebay fmic probably came with 3" endtanks don't match it to them. Get 3-2.5" reducers and make all 2.5" piping and just use reducers where needed you will flow plenty like that.

There is no need for anything bigger than 2.5", but like Slippi84 said, the fmic probably came with 3" end tanks. So just get 3" to 2.5" reducers and make the rest of the piping 2.5".
