Well, weather turned for the worst, so no pics yet.

The pipe from the turbo is a 2.5" diameter 18" long pipe with a 45 degree bend in the middle. It attaches to the turbo with a 2.0" -> 2.5" reducer.

The other pipe is straight and approximately 7" long. I have a little play in my setup because I have a spearco IC. I have a 90 degree coupler (the stock IC has an integrated elbow) and I get a little more slack with the angle because there is a coupler between the 45 deg pipe and 7" pipe.

The pipes tend to be expensive on there own. I would suggest getting something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=190130039298

You will have plenty to do both the upper and lower piping. If you are pretty much stock you can stick with 2.0" diam piping and you wont have such a tight squeeze.

I know a guy who used the 2.0" kit (same as above but smaller) and only needed 2.25" reducer (3000 pipe to IC pipe) and one 45 degree coupler for the through the fender pipe.

I will still try to get pics if I have a chance.

BTW thank you guys for all the info and the pics. I feel a lot more confident looking for hardpipes now, especially with all the info.
