intercooler piping

[power=dsm]

hey, i wanted to buy a fmic and do the piping myself. I was just wondering if you guys know the bends i'm gonna need and were to buy the piping, and t-clamps and slicon housing. any links to installs already done on a 1g would be cool. i already did a search and couldn't find much. I checked ebay for the bends and other stuff but i'm sure there must be a better place to get it from.

When I did my IC pipes I bought all my piping from www.magnumforce.com they were all mandrel bends. I would look to see exactly what sort of routing you can take and buy an extra bend or two. Complex transitions may take more than one attempt to complete correctly. The silicone coupings and t-clams can be bought at any vendor that offers DIY parts. This includes SBR. RRE... I would suggest welding as much as possible because the more couplings the more chances of leaks.

I'm doing my bends and welding myself too. It shouldnt be too hard but you should really mount the IC and do your own piping design the bends will be totally up to you. Any speed shop should carry the tube. I have standard aluminized. I'd just get a 10 or 12 ft stick of tube from an exhaust shop or something.

Just search under "mandrel" and you should find all that you need as far as piping, pre-bent with mandrel bends. All the pipes are aluminized, if you want s/s or aluminum check on ebay or with www.roadraceengineering.com
