I figured I would post up a few pics to see what everyone thinks. I made this for one of the local supra guys and his clean ass 92. I also built the intercooler set up in the pictures as well as alot of other stuff. It is a little bit bigger than 3 in so it matches the AFM perfectly.

i would make my own before i ever went out and bought a cooleeze... suprasport sells it for like $190 or something... thats crazy! if you were super cheap, and just had a $400 MIG welder then i would make it out of stainless or aluminized steel and cut the price in HALF. and his looks like 2 elbows, i dont know what size the inlet it... but vibrantperformace sells 90 elbows for like 20-30 a pop. and then get some t-bolts off ebay, and get some good 4-ply couplers... cooleeze didnt have t-bolts in the picture either... so what are you paying for exactly???

Good luck finding the elbows I used. They are larger than 3 in and very tight radius. As for making it out of stainless or aluminized again good luck as they dont make a bend tight enough. Thats why the cooleeze looks like ass imo. No offence but, if you were cheap and had a $400 mig welder I could assure you that whatever was made would look like A$$,.

I did a 3'' exhaust system for my eclipse, had to do a lot of pie cut style stuff, was it the best looking? no. did it work and perform yes. I could have sat there and grinded down the welds and made it mirror polish... but i could care less. and you can make any bend you want, go get a 180 pipe and cut it how ever you want... its simple as that. And i would have a TIG welder but we dont have the space in the garage... and you can find anything you want on the internet with a little patience and a few part numbers. And i've done some beads with my $400 Lincoln MIG welder that look as good as some of the welds i've seen on here...
