Hey, When I ordered my intercooler set up it was for an SR, I figured no bigge I can make it work. Well yea the last pipe that goes from the battery tray part to the throttle body is way off. I figure I need to make a pipe.

How do I go about doing this and what do I use?

I figured a silicone or rubber hose but 3 inch size, its kinda big.

Or if someone would be willing to sell the pipe I will buy it off of you.

On another note, I cranked my motor for the first time today, mind the gas tank is still out of it, just checking my wiring. One less step now!

Pep Boys muffler pipe bends will get it done. Heck, I used scaffolding pipe once, it was heavy as crap but I feared no parking curb!
