Ebay intercooler pipe choices
So I am ready to set up my intercooler and now I need to purchase the pipe kit I wanna know which kits you guys bought.
I have a 1.8 bottom mount t25 set up
will this kit work? or is it missing some key pieces? I already have a HkS bov fitted ti a 2.5 inch 90 degree pipe
2.5" TURBO INTERCOOLER PIPING KIT BR ACCORD PRELUDE CRX : eBay Motors (item 250497246684 end time Feb-08-10 17:47:54 PST)

I know you are going to do some cutting here and there on the piping, but some pipes have the bead (I think thats how they are called) and does help when you want to secure it with t-clamps. The ones I cut the bead are sanded a little and use hair spray before installing the silicone coupler.
One thing, is the piping painted black or black metal? Who knows if it starts peeling under heat and really going to look bad. Make sure you dont need the 45 degree silicone couplers and the hump ones which give you that extra flex on tight spots.

I just finished doing my ic piping, and i would definitely get a kit that has some u-bends in it, NOT the kit you posted. because with u bends, You can cut them to whatever angle you need. i would also just get the regular aluminum piping, not the black stuff. but those 90 degree silicone couplers will probably some in handy. so look for a kit with the u bends and those couplers.

Max-Redline was where I got my pipe from. It was a true 2 mm bead rolled T6061 aluminum pipe. What I liked was that I could buy individual pieces and could get some unique bends like theirs "s" bend and "j" bend. Here's the URL; Max-Redline.com - Aluminum Pipe:2" Aluminum Pipe
They also sell "pipe kits" if that's more to your liking.

Your going to be tracking the car, right? Your going to probably want to do a v-mounted intercooler like sav and i did.
I personally like the U shaped pieces to go around the radiator, but that was pre v-mount. If i were v-mounting a setup those two 90* and 35*s would probably be enough.
Let me google that for you
