I took my pipe and cut one of the bends out. It just has 1 45 degree bend that leaves the turbo, and the filter sits right behind the radiator on the side. Perfect Fit.

sorry if its been mentioned before, but where is a reputable place to purchase the raw tub (ie uncut trailer fender)?

MrFairlady · 11-23-2011, 08:12 PM

I would like to see some pic's of underneath.

just to see the clearance avail in doing Tubs.Seems the Pinch weld Holds you back from lowering the front more than normal due to the strut Tower under section.
Angle is what I gather is the main Purpose.
Lets see some.

I got mine from Northern Tool. You can also get them from Tractor Supply as well.

no pics yet, but for what its worth, my 18x10 + 20 with a 255/35/18 on it clears lock to lock with tons of room up top and up front with my tubs

INeedNewTires · 11-24-2011, 12:43 PM

IIIXziuR · 11-25-2011, 01:16 PM

I<3 SR, that looks great.
What did you use to cut your metal?
What was your technique for welding? It must have taken forever!

The normal intake is shaped like an S. So i just took out 1 of the bends. (to make it into a 45 degree.) I get a pic of it, have to let my camera charge.

used electric shears and moved along slowly stichting it together so nothing warped and everything lined up properly, then fully backweld them. update soon.

C. Anderson · 11-26-2011, 09:21 AM

This is what I did ezza. The filter is just put under the hot pipe.

and all I did was use a 90 coupler and put the maf on it

Super_OK_S13 · 12-23-2011, 04:56 AM

this is my progress, tore apart at the end of november. wroked 4-6 hr days for a total of like 6-8 days in between days off and daylight running out at 4 oclock.

DanielS14 · 12-23-2011, 05:36 PM

Working on rear tubs for my coupe now. Just cut the fenders out but only towards the front of the car... just tubbing the front sides for a little more clearance and to make a nice clean look in a gutted interior. Haven't seen anyone do full rear tubs though

90240sx07 · 12-25-2011, 09:26 PM

ive seen a few doesnt look real hard to do
