Aluminum manderal bent pipe

[RipperXX]

Ok, I searched google and got alot of industrial stuff, I searched this site and got alot of FMIC install kit threads but I couldn't find what I was looking for.

I checked JCwhitey & Summit for the pipes, they had steel and stainless steel pipes but no aluminum. I'm pretty set on aluminum because of it's lighter weight and better heat transfer ability.

I am searching for 2.5" aluminum pipe and bends. As my FMIC setup has to completely be redone.

universal intercooler kits on ebay are made of aluminum.

Just out of curiosity, what was wrong with them?

3 of them broke, 4 of them were too large, i could clamp them all the way down and it felt tight but wasnt and would blow hoses like crazy

just because it is a t-bolt clamp doesnt mean its the cats pajamas. Spend your money right and get good t-bolts. Along with those ebay piping kits, I wouldnt buy em, I've seen people crush that piping by stomping on it, the aluminum is way too thin, and I would be surprized if you could crush it, by clamping it down with a good t-bolt. if you have to have aluminum check out http://store.racing-solutions.org/albe1.html, theres also plenty of other places also.
