much beter performance. I'll have to see about milage. The tubing is electrical conduit pipe. works great for keeping the air cool.
This is the pipe I started with. I only used one though.

Hey can someone help me out here....i just went to home depot today to try to copy ur designs......but they didnt even have a 3"(diameter) 45 or 90 degree flex pipe.....and the BIGGEST conduit they had there was 2 inches.........any thoughts on what else i can use that i can find at home depot?
instead of conduit im just gonna use pvc since they do have that in 3 inch diameter..but i still need all the rubber connects and such....

Check out this link. You will get many of the parts you need (polished tubing, clamps, couplings, air filter, etc.) and you can cut or modify them how ever you want. I just used a hack saw to cut off the pipe that I didn't need. If you can't find what you need at Home Depot, this is a good alternative. You will still need an adapter for the VAF. The kit will not have it. I also incorperated the resonator, RX7 VAF, and a little better air filter on mine.

Thanks, I think im gonna order this tonight. I could have put all this together just home depot didnt have anything i was looking for. Im going out right now to look for something i can cut apart/turn into an adapter. I know what they look like so it shouldnt be a big problem.
