Stainless Steel Intake Pipe - Where To Purchase Or Get Manufactured?

[Peter]

Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone could give me an idea, where I can buy or get a stainless steel intake pipe (between AFM and turbo) made up to replace the factory rubber one? I have seen the Apexi ones on Nengun (very expensive), and I am not really interested in the silicon ones available from JustJap. I am after one that just "bolts up", with the appropriate silicon joiners, and has all the attachments to plug in all the hoses etc that go into it.

I occasionally see them for sale on SAU, but these things go very quick, and I have always missed out....

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Peter

Hey Ricca,

I'm definitely interested!

Does it come with all the silicon joiners etc. to bolt straight in?

If it does I’ll grab it!

Thanks,

Pete

what I've been told is that any exhaust place, even Hyperdrive, C Red can make one up for you, can recommend:

Kermit and

Josh from Metalcraft

could always try and make one yourself. i did when i changed turbo (needed 100 on turbo side) and it was easier than i thought. just got a bit of 100mm pipe (was ally) with a 45 degree bend in it, cut it to length, drilled a couple holes and found some fitting for BOV and pcv, screwed them in and siliconed them, then just had to buy a 100mm joiner and a 100mm-80mm reducer from turbotech. got bits at different times and with other stuff but probs cost less than $100 all up

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the replies! Thanks especially to Ricca for all the sms's, but no action on my part

I should be getting my car back this week, so I'll look into the suggested ideas / leads then.

BTW, just a thought - I went to where my car is being repaired and squished in the factory pipe and noticed it was quite firm - would this pipe only "suck in" if the filter was not flowing adequately? I am thinking of a vacuum cleaner here - pipe doesn't "suck in" unless you jam something over the end - so if the filter is flowing enough then it shouldn't "vacuum in" so to speak??

Anyways, I will still be going for a metal pipe, but it was just a thought!

IF anyone need some can get them made custom bends and shiny lol
