You mean custom IC piping?
It's not really that hard at all, you just need aliittle money and some patience. I made custom piping for my FMIC setup as did Jeff and so do tons of other people. it's better than a kit actaully since you have more leeway than with a long hard pipe that has alot more area to rub and bump other things. Go for it then buy some 2.5" pipes from RRE with 45 and 90 degree bends and spend a day eyeballing and marking up the pipes for the welding/cutting. Any servicable machine shop will weld the whole shmear for less than 30 bucks.
That's a great price too. Best of luck.

Yup. Road Race Engineering is 3 blocks from my house, and the welding shop is on the same street, on the way back home. I can actually get custom fabricated IC piping *on foot* in an afternoon. :thumbsup
Anyways this is going on my 2GNT, which is already all ghetto rigged anyways. :cheers

i got it made for my car. the piping was 75 bucks. I am a 4g though thats alot cheaper then what I paid. Mine is a griffen core but its the exact size. The only thing is I had to run my intercooler pipe under the car, but it looks real sweethow we did it haha

You can also run a bead of weld arount the pipe to make a rib for the clamp to grab ahold of. We do it all the time at work when making custom tubing for lol... Roto Rooter trucks... :puke
