first off, i need some piping, what size do you recomend? Any body know a good place to get ic piping? If you're feeling really helpful, you could go as far as to tell me exactly what bends and whatnot to get. thanks

First off, you need to get the IC modified. The piping you can get them from JC Whitney and also need silicon hoses. I used 2" piping on mine to retain the 2" star stage1 piping. You will need couple of U-bend and 3-4 J-bends.

I am buying a griffin/spearco ic from road race and i am planning on running 2.25" for the hot as well as the cool side. This seems like a good size because the throttle body is around 2.25" so there won't be any restrictions in flow. I have looked at alot of other people's setups trying to figure out what bends it will take. Instead of buying any 90 deg bends, I am getting all 180's, this way you get 2 90's for only a couple bucks more. I also agree that jc whitney seems to have the best prices on them. From what I have determined, using a starion ic, you will prob need 2 45's, and 4-5 180's. the 2 45's are to allow the piping to pass below the bumper mount on the driver's side. Roadrace has cheap reinforced couplers that are black for like 12 bucks a foot or something like that. It may be worth buying an extra bov flange to have welded on also. It will save a little work when you're welding all the piping together. i hope this helps you out a little bit. god knows I've spent alot of time trying to figure out the size and routing confuguration of this stuff, later, justin
