FMIC piping

[bryce]

Just wanted to know what you guys thought of intercooler piping kits that are for sale on ebay, if you have them, How do you like them? And another thing is in the link below, would that be enough piping to pipe my 1g everywhere except the uicp, and goin the long way around on the drivers side>?

No link. Do you plan to have all of it routed the long way or just the drivers side? I think for a setup where the passenger side was routed the short way, then all you would need would be 2 45* bends, a 180* bend, and a 90* bend and some extra length of pipe, assuming you have a j-pipe or downward facing turbo and a throttle body elbow.

That looks like it would do the trick. That is the first kit I've seen with what looks to be quality silicone couplers.

That piping is REALLY good, its what I have and the couplers fit snug without the clamp and then when you put the clamps on even without a lip they hold perfectly. I got them and made a custom FMIC short route and I still have pipes left over, comes with all you need and Ive had no problems at all.

yah and even comes with t- bolt clamps

Looks very good to me. Think I see everything you'd need, and if what these guys say is true, then quality shouldn't be an issue.

Very interesting, It looks like I might be able to finally get my front mount all hooked up and everything for the evo16. That SMIC is getting major heat soak, its horrible.

I bought a piping kit from ebay. Not bad quality chrome pipes,but doodoo couplers, the kit however was only 80 bucks. It came with 6 pipes and the couplers and hose clamps, it only took 4 pipes to make the kit. One thing however i noticed those pipes were not beaded, i highly recommend getting them beaded if your running high boost. I got stuck on the highway chasing an M3 and did an emergency repair. So get it beaded and your good!! Currently im running 22psi all day strong and im good to go.

I run around 22psi and I dont have them breaded... my couplers came with the pipes and tbolt clamps then couplers fit snug with the pipes already and then the tbolt clamps just added it even more. Nothings poped off yet cept a coupler I forgot to tighten
