What do you guys think of this IC kit?

[Reign_Maker]

Its a nice kit... Polished aluminum... The couplers are rubber, so Im nixxin them and goin with some HTS couplers and Tclamps... But I mean, for the money, already polished, I can measure and cut, then take to a shop for beads... I can get the kit in 2.5, 2.75 or 3 inches...

Thoughts?

 

[psifactor]

that is who i got my pipes from. But i used the one without the silicone connectors and clamps. I think mine was like 100 shipped.

 

[souprat]

this isnt a supra specific kit right? does it eliminate the 3k pipe? do you have pics psifactor?

 

[Reign_Maker]

Its universal, you just cut to length... BUT, its all polished, so there's some bling factor there... And its also manderal bent, so thats nice... And the price is nice too... I mean, buy a complete set, then have it polished and tell me how much it runs ya... The couplers are rubber, so they're no-go... But for $35 you can get 3 ply 5-pack from our friends at HTS...

I think I might go for it...

Kelly, ya got pics? I wanna see... Souprat wants to see too... Show us that clean ass 7M you have, LOL!

That does seem like you're getting a lot for what you are paying for. I'd say go for it!

HOLY COW!

I was about to buy another kit for $250 for the EXACT SAME THING off ebay! Man I am glad I waited!

I would go for it! Its aluminum, not steel! Heck, comes with couplers and everything!!!!!!!!!!

That is the kit I am getting....thats really all I need to get my turbo kit/build complete....

I just need a DP made...LOL

I find it hard to believe that a complete polished aluminum IC pipe kit would sell for $100.

 

[suprabad]

For that kinda dough (cheap) I'm willing to cut to size and buy the good connectors. I think I might get one.

 

[IHI-RHC7]

I would go with aluminum off the turbo to shed heat, and steel after the intercooler to keep engine bay heat out. But it is a steal of a deal nonetheless. I'll bet that they are SUPER thin pipes though, and T-Bolts will crush them...

 

[Reign_Maker]

1/16th of an inch... Thick enough for IC piping...

Jake: Be careful as the other Jake said T Bolt clamps will crush it if you go hard ! (Ask how I know!)

Just realised I now know 3 x Jakes into Supra's!

 

[Reign_Maker]

Jake: (Ask how I know!)

How you know? :aigo:

 

[IJ.]

My IC's use this gauge aluminium and yep T Bolts will crush it !
(just have to be a little careful NOT to overdo the T Bolts)

I find it hard to believe that a complete polished aluminum IC pipe kit would sell for $100.

And it cost $50 to manufacture. The Defcon downpipe was manufactured for around $50 for example.
