I did mine by using 2 45 degree pipes. Turned out good, but you need to have someone weld it.... Total cost with t-bolt clamps and silicone couplers = $70

i'd go for that speed source one that's sexy.

I agree, go for the speed source one.

speed source, got it on mine and forgot about it, only issue i found was the end of the pipe going to the ic had a fairly large gap but the long ass coupler made it fit, no issues to date. sucker fits TIGHT.

i did mine by slicing 9 different cut 2.5" wedges to form the one 12" lower pipe. took alot of time but materials were cheap. hard to see but i tried to get a good pik..... im not much of a welder but there air tight.. good to go...

EDITED:hmm now that i think about it, it is the one lower half of the pipe that travels through the fender, (but its actually the upper outlet off the IC) definately the hardest to fabricate for me...the lower IC tube is not really visable on my car without disassembly.. but i did mine just like tubbie...
26$ for the pipe and 12$ for the 4ply and tbolts and my labor..for the lower only plus shipping

Thanks for the support guys!

AmJebus, the reason the coupler is so long/pipe short is to make installation easier. If it weren't for the give that longer coupler allows it would be nearly impossible to install. I think you figured that out though!
