Can I make it happen?(Upper IC Pipe)

[theKnifeArtist]

is was thinking of using the flexible part of the stock upper IC pipe to get that too fit by doin a little cutting. the bends look like they could work. ill cut the pipe a little, looks like i might have too..
are there 45° bent couplers or something out there, just in case this wouldnt work?
any other ideas?

 

[Dachande]

get the pipe shortened and then get couplers that will work.

where can i find couplers for this angle?

 

[JoeC]

two 45 degree silicone couplers. That isn't an extreme angle, I have the same sort of setup on my car.

 

[theKnifeArtist]

Man, i just looked up 45° couplers, and shit 40 bucks for one!? thats nuts! do i really need a fancy ones? i heard if i get crap, its gonna keep poppin off. im only running 8-10 pounds of boost...

Do it right the first time. Turn the pipe the other way too. BOV closer to the TB = more win.

Vut the pipe just a lil too

shit hells knows about turbo cars now! :rofl:
Jokes, jokes.
yeah all couplers are expensive as shit. but i guess you get what you pay for... this is why im makign every coupler straight on my setup lol.
personally, i would replace the bottom IC pipe while you're at it... any muffler shop will weld you a replacement for like 120 including parts... it is our biggest restriction on the stock setup.

i personally would get a shop to bend the top part at 45 and then get your self a piece of 45 bent piping and cut that to size and weld it on the end to extend it.....a little overkill, but why not?

yup just cut the pipe shorter and two 45's. look on ebay for those couplers, they may be cheaper.

go to high tempsilicone.com they have 4ply, 2.5" silicone couplers, 45's for 29.96 ea.

good call, ill do that, i think i should have clearance..

 

[theKnifeArtist]

would it be a bad idea to get a 2.50" coupler and put it on a 2.25"? that hightempsilicone.com site doesnt have 2.25

 

[supramike7m]

oh shit i didnt relize it was 2.25, i should have figured. but i dont see why you cant? dont think it will matter, im not positive though. just go for it and see what happens

 

[theKnifeArtist]

well it kind of expensive, so i gotta make sure. i think i might just try to use my stock flexible ic pipage and work with that. if that doesnt work ill have to dish out the dough for 2 pieces of silicone:nono:

hmm im pretty sure it would work, seeing how its not THAT big of a difference. I would actually check for you because i have 2.5 coupler in my garage but my car is in stoarage 15 miles away from me..
and your stock pipe should work for sure.

 

[theKnifeArtist]

im gonna do some measuring and cutting tommorrow, hopefully itll work out.
if not, im not driving for time, haha

Yeah, he has "735" worth of rep !!!

 

[Insidious Surmiser]

mad ghetto FTW... it'll work one way or another

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Pfft, YOu all fail to remember my first car was a turbo 89 944. I put the Ruf BOV with the hard pipe in that too.

Great quality.. and 16.99 a piece. They're all I run. Pick up some T-Bolt clamps while you're at it.
