For everyone who is asking about different colored couplers...
We had a feeling that people would want options here, but seeing as how this is just the lower piping and isn't visible from anywhere but under the car we didn't think it would be a very big deal. That said, we are going to check into getting different colors, mainly because we are going to build an upper pipe set and feel that it should be an option at that point. They are higher priced though, so be prepared.

I've seen Carl's welding in person -- it's first rate. Count me in for one.
Will we have our choice of colors on the silicone hoses?
Thanks from myself and Carl. He is a damn fine welder. I just hope to be as good at some point in the not so far away future.

Nice work & a great price. Do you plan on fab'ng the same in 2.25" or 2.50"? Isn't the stock lower pipe 2.25"?
Thanks! The intercooler and the turbo are both 2 inch, so this is a perfect match. I don't see any gain from making them larger than 2 inch as it would get choked back down at the intercooler. Also, it would require very expensive transition couplers.

When you make a set in 2.25 or 2.5 let me know.
If I didn't answer that above...Is there a specific reason you want the larger piping? Maybe for reasons like turboa7mgte's below?

seeing that my spearco is 2.5 I dunno if I would want to go smaller piping diamater.
Can you make that in 2.5? and what would you want for it?
I would buy the 2" but i would have to find a 90% elbow that goes from 2" to 2.5" to adapt to my spearco.
Looks nice though.... props for making us some lower cost stuff for the MKIII
Thanks, Tim! If you wanted to you're close enough that you could come down for the day and we could whip some up special, just for you! I think we could eliminate the need for the elbow by making the bend using piping, then just a coupler to the i/c.

Soon as I get this pay-pal crapp sorted out, U know I'm getting one. From me asking about this, to ya'll getting it done... damn that was fast. Had I gotten pics to you sooner, I'm sure you could have had quite a few sold already.
Also, any plans for uppers anytime soon?
*Edit*
BTW, looks damn good. :bigthumb:
Thanks, Matt! No worries, your set is waiting for you. We are planning on doing the upper piping, I just need time to get the 91 into the shop and start fabbing.
You all need to give Matt here a big pat on the back for getting us going on this. :bigthumb: We've talked about doing it for quite a while but it kept getting put on the back burner. Matt was in immediate need for a lower pipe kit and gave us the motivation we needed to get it done. Now that we've done it we're plenty motivated to finish it out with an upper set too!
I want to say thank you too all that have offered kind words! It is truly appreciated!!!
