KA-T "im a cheap ass" piping suggestions?

[louisdaboois]

buy a cheap ebay fmic. go to an auto parts store and buy 3- 90* U-bend exhaust piping which will run about $60-$70ish. mock up how you want the intercooler piping, cut where necessary and take the pieces to an exhaust shop and ask for them to weld it... they usually charge about... 30$ at most for everything... mine came out to about 5-6 weld beads. and a decent front mount setup costing roughly a little over 100$ or just go with a smic.... either or.

That's what I used... You can get 180* and 90* ones as well... I did this becuase I crushed my aluminum FMIC piping in an accident and needed to get the car going somehow. If you decide to go this route, make sure you spray it down w/ some kind of rustoleum paint, since the cheaper pipes aren't rust-proof/SS. Just kind of design how you want the pipes to go and bring it to a shop to get cut (unless you want to cut it yourself), and I don't know if you have couplers/clamps lying around as well... but that might be easiest as far as installation... Make sure you sand the cut edges, and if you want to spend the extra money, have "lips" welded on them to prevent you from blowing IC piping (depending on fitment it might not be a problem). I think total cost (cut myself and reused my couplers/clamps) was about $50. Hope that helps and GL.
