Does anyone know where i can buy one complete cold pipe and one complete hot pipe for my ca powered 180sx? I have a ssautochrome FMIC and i have four individual pipes that conect together to make up my cold pipe and three pipes that make up my hot pipe which makes for a $h!t load of sillicone bootes and hose clamps which are holding my pipes together. Which is why i am constantly getting new boost leaks.

I just want to have as little connections as possible.

I have read that greedy has a cold pipe that goes directly from the intercooler to the throttle body but i can't find it.

I think you were misinformed. A one piece hotpipe or coldpipe would be really hard to shove up into the engine bay and get it fit in there right unless you had some big cutouts where the i/c pipes go through into the bay.

Greddy has a coldpipe for the S13 for use with their greddy manifolds, and it only extends from the throttle body to where the pipe leaves the engine bay, then it's attached to another pipe with a coupler.

You shouldn't have any problems with boost leaks if you're using quality couplers and clamps.

Nevermind I looked at the post that i read about a one pice cold pipe and when i scrolled down and read a little more the one pice pipe was for a stock smic.

also does that two piece greddy cold pipe work without relocating the battery? and where can i order one from
