I was wondering if there are any good kits out there or did most people make their own?

a nifty trick from the cressida guys-

if you are making your own piping, and its going in the normal FMIC place (between bumper and radiation)

flip it upside down

yourpiping will be shorter, as the in/outlets will be at the top of the IC< not the bottom

common sense meet 'outside-the-box'

an alternative is to get a SAAB (i think its saab) junkyard IC... mount it behind the rad, then mount the E-fans on it ... see the euro cars for pics..... but youll have silly-short IC piping runs (a couple straight pipes with flex silicon adapters will get it done)
