I melted the **** out of one of those ebay couplers... and that Alum isnt very good at welding..... I put together an entire intercooler + 3 in pipes and couplers for $400.00. With t-bolt clamps... you dont always have to go super cheap...BoostsFed wrote:aluminum piping is generic; you can't beat this price.it's generic; but it has pretty much all the bends you may need, it's cheap and can't beat the price.
i'm a fan of ebay, when it comes to stuff like this: i recommend this:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW
its not silicon its ****ing rubber. I melted it in a burnout contest, it blew and ended my run short. It was the coupler on my hotside second before my intercooler. TRUST ME. Why would I lie?BoostsFed wrote: dude how the he11 you melt the coupler!! unless you connected it on your downpipe. LOL. these pipes are mandrel bends, not welded. 6061 aluminum grade aluminum are all the same. especially the polished ones, a competent welder will know to brush off the outer coating before welding aluminum. i had these on my previous rb20 and 60-1 turbo w/o no problem. if your intercooler couples melts on you, you have an issue elsewhere.
there are so much bias when it comes to ebay. make your own choice wisely!!!!
