substock Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 2.5 Aluminum Tubing. 2) 90' 2) 45' Had to cut them to fit. thanks, i was wondering what type of bends were needed. also were did you get the silicone couplers? i thought bigger then 2.25 would be too big for the stock turbo/tbi setup(i thought i read somewhere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfitts Posted March 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 You can get everything you need from these two places: www.vertexnow.com www.turboengineering.com The 2.5 works well but, if I was to do it over again, I would use 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoFastBeater Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 They look good all polished up 8) When I first saw the thread I was expecting another PVC hardpipe kit or some other ghetto fix LOL ADAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfitts Posted March 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 No, I dont like ghetto setup's. This was a cost affective way to get a nice setup. $200-$300 I like Kelly's setup. Just a little $$$$$$ for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoFastBeater Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 I got some u bends and a welder Hopefully I'll have complete chromed hardpipes from turbo to ic to throttle body for under $200 before summer ;D ADAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

860QuestTuner Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Looks good,but when uping size on the pipes thats more area to compress with air before it gets to the motor causeing some lag, but I'm sure at higher levels of boost it works well.That's why the *DM pipes are 2.25. I like it,looks clean even though you had to use more couplers ,but no more ballooning of rubber hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
