Intercooler piping...where to buy?
Just like the subject says. What "kind" of piping is intercooler piping made of? Is it PVC piping? Can the piping be bought at Home depot or some other hardware store? I bought the engine, transmission, ecu, wiring harness, blah blah blah. I didn't buy the front clip. That's why I'm asking. Thanks in advance.
PVC pipe in my experiences has melted in an engine bay, so no...dont make it out of PVC. Look for some mandrel bends from http://www.summit.com under the exhaust section. You will then need to have it all welded up.
Jc whittney is cheaper i think , lucky for me i have Mendelsons , a cheap *** junk store with millions of square footage of electronics crap, and every thing under teh sun, including a giant box of mandrel 90s and 45s for 30$ like 20 bends cha ching jackpot lol, or we have ITS a turbo shop that has 1.5-3" bends in stock and i got tha hook up.

if you want aluminum mandral bends you can by cheap CAI for hondas or whatever and use them just cut the bends you'll need then buy 3ft silicone hose so you can attach your piping also you would need to buy some good clamp not you regular clamps fom home depot cause them things pop off on high boost!!! get T-Bolt clamps those work the best
