Intake Piping

Postby solitaire » Mon Mar 08, 2010 9:13 pm

Hi - I did a search for "intake piping" but could not find anything.

What sort of piping should i be looking for? I was looking to get some silicon hoses on drivenperformance.co.nz which is all very well but nowhere there can I see the metal pipe to join the hoses for sale. Super cheap has some piping but its mega expensive.

Can i just goto an exhaust place and buy some pipe? Surely rust is a factor?

Is there some sort of crazy website that will sell silicon hoses and the metal pipe to link it all together?

Sorry if this sounds a bit crazy but after searching the web for the last 30 minutes i have gone completely insane with frustration :oops:

Apreciate any advice you good people can offer :D

What I ended using for apart of my intake, I went to the place below and they had a bin of intercooler piping some from damaged kits, off cuts etc I got a long piece of pipe with a couple of bends on it for like $45, it might pay to phone them first to see if they still have any left.
