It's flexible exhaust piping:

I think they sell it on http://www.summitracing.com also.

I was thinking about getting that for my custom i/c piping.. but decided not to.

I know it says that it is exhaust piping but isn't it used to route the exhaust flow? It doesn't look like it would hold to much pressure. I dont think it was designed to hold boost, but I could be wrong. I'd stick to hardpipes, personally.

I'd spend the extra money and get a I/C piping kit it will work and you wont need to worry about it cracking and pluss it might be under warenty.

Eh, if you already have an intercooler make your own piping. It's so ridiculously easy for anyone that knows how to weld (and by "knows how" I don't mean "has done it before"). Easily under $100.

I used for CA(same crap anyway):

1 x 2.5" ubend 2 x 2.5" 90 degree bend1 x 2.25" 90 degree1 x reducer at throttle bodyabout 8 inches of silicone tubing at 1.61 or something an inchthe metal pieces were in mild steel, but I recommend stainless, instead of $18 or something per piece it will be about $22, small price for bling looks and no rust.

I bought a blitz hotpipe that came with a 2-2.25" reducer and some other couplings, so that saved some hassle.

I made my own also.. 3 U bends and a bunch of couplers... ended up costing $400 for my whole kit. Not too bad IMO
