i pieced my own together. used a ebay kit. came with like (4) 90s (2) 45s bunch of couplers a silicone 45 and silicone 90. and t bolts.

quality was decent, believe it was like $100 or 150. tried to look it up in my ebay profile but its gone.

didnt you abandon you rb project? your parting the motor out. buy another rb?

i would def go with CX-racing - so far i have had no problems with them and i have front mount, intercooler pipe, wastegate, BOV, radiator, and my turbo manifold from them. the best part about the piping is they have a deal on ebay than lets you pick what bends, and sizes of the pipes and couplers that you want - thats just my 2 cents

I dunno about the cx racing but DO NOT buy Ebay piping. I have an entire Kit that i bought when I first put the motor in. IT SUCKS, if you wanna keep putting couplers on then thats what you will get, The piping is cheap and will Bend when clamping it. The Best and Cheapest way your going to do it is by going to Muffler shop and having them bend you some metal tubing!! I know its not RECOMMENDED But I promise its the best bang for the buck. My entire kit now is 5 pieces and Works GREAT!! I have not had 1 coupler blow off since I changed piping. Thats my recommendation I did all of mine for 100$ Vs my 130$ EBAY junk kit.

yes, mos of he ebay kis are cheap and bend with clamps - thats why i like the CX racing piping - it is 1/8" thick and does not bend with clamps, also the clamps that come with the CX racing piping are nice T-bolt clamps and i had no problem with the couplers when i ran 20psi on my civic
