…theres alot of them on eBay. Which leads me to have the urge of piecing together a front mount IC and hardpipe kit for my car for very little $$$$ AFter installing a pre-fab kit on one of the EVOs i realized what a difference it makes.
Anyone try something like this before; buying bends, pipe lengths, and couplers from whoever? It would be so trick if I could do it myself and save hundreds, not to mention all the fun ripping my car apart

Thats how I did some of mine. Not because I wanted to, but because I got screwed on my greddy Ic “kit”… seems that the word “kit” dosen’t actually mean anything. It wasn’t that hard. A shop called B&R racing sells it around here. They have straight, 45 deg, and 90 deg pipes. Each cost $26 and they have silicon couplers for $6 each.
