Alright so I'm not positive which intercooler I have but I THINK its THE BIG ONE...I'll email the guy I just bought it from and verify that, lol. But my question is this: do I really need the $425 Hahn intercooler piping or can I go with a $130 ebay piping kit?

Better yet: are there any other (cost-effective) alternatives???

This is what you need:

and your connect the pipes however you want.

the hahn piping wont fit up to a non hahn intercooler.

"THE BIG ONE" IS a Hahn Intercooler...and thanks for the link, you have experience with that kit?
