Hello folks, I just bought a 3" intercooler from ETS. I didn't realize that my current pipping for my SBR/Kinetic wouldn't work. The outlet piping on the ets core is about 5 inches shorter so of course my piping wont reach out the engine bay that far. I was wondering if anyone knew the dimensions of the lower intercooler piping? I think I need to order a 90 degree pipe, but I don't know what length I would need. I'm also not sure what to do about the upper intercooler piping as well. I've tried to contact ETS and they didn't help. Thanks for any help.

I have the exact same setup on my car. There are a few ways to make it work. Longer couplers, weld pipes onto the ets core, or use 2 more couplers with pieces of pipe on the intercooler.

Which one would you suggest?

If you don't have a tig welder the easiest is probably getting longer couplers. You can get a long straight piece, a long 45*, and cut them to fit.

The less couplers the better. If I were u I'd have someone weld the extra 5 inches u need .

Thanks gents, I may get the local shop to weld on extra pipe. I imagine they don't need to be angled like the SBR?

Try to mirror the sbr to prevent fitment issues.
