what kind? ei fmic smic?

Most kits come with 3 pipes total..Half the hotpipe and the full coldpipe..With most name brand kits you will have to buy the hotpipe by it self..

You can make your own intercooler piping kit with Generic Hot Pipe, x2 90* Bends and x2 45* Bends and x2 90* Bends for the Cold Pipe. Youll cut one of the 45* to about a 37* angle to fit the wierd angle of the SR20 Throttle Body.

im looking to buy a front mount off of ebay. and they have 4 pipes plus the intercooler, and couplers is there anything else i should look for...i dont really feel like spending $900 for a name brand kit.

Smart man, But beware the intercoolers may not be of the same quality and the piping can be THIN so dont tighten those T-bolts tooo tight.

Link us to the one youre buying or considering.

Neither of those if thats the piping it comes with. ****'s too small.

2.5" is just going to be too small.I got the Greddy Spec-M intercooler kit and I'm really enjoying it. I paid $350 so not too-too much more.

Greddy Type M is so much better than ebay thin junk. Piping that thin gets holes rubbed in it amazingly quick, and the strength of the core is very low compard to name brands.

I say good job Greddy - affordable quality alternative product hits the US market at exactly the right time for once!
