I've got a medium size fmic core, trying to install it on my 1g. I've got bends and piping but will need to custom fit them, basically trying to go around the drivers side for the inlet and up to the stock uicp location for outlet, already have a blowthru uicp.

Basically my questions are: What's the best tool for cutting aluminum piping by hand? And, I think I know the answer (yes) but is it best to get a new jpipe, like the dejontool one?

If you have to cut by hand then I suggest a sawzall, if not, a hacksaw will have to do. And yes, do get a J-pipe. I recommend the one from Full Function Technology www.fftec.com
