for those of you that have made your own, where did you pick up the piece of pipe to use for the idle air bypass. I'm can't seem to find a place that sells thin walled pipe that small. (also need a piece for the dump into the oil pan)

the tb is 3" right? my pipes are 2.5 so I'll need to pick up a silicone adapter.

well here is a idea how about gettin a bomz intake or some other cheapo ebay one thats a injen knockoff it would have the bypass tube

Isn't 2.5" charge piping pretty big? I thought going for around 2" would make for less lag.

Depends on what Cow wants to boost to.

I never made my own, but have you checked major companies like Jegs, etc. They carry all sorts of piping.

summit racing has almost anything imaginable.

thats where i was looking tibby01, must be searching for the wrong thing. I tried thin walled pipe, pipe, 1" pipe.

edit: oz, I went with 2.5" cause jon and ham said so!

oh and faith I've got a injen knockoff with the elbow but as ham said 3" is pretty big. plus I won't need the pipe on the inside of the elbow so making my own would look/be the best in my opinion.

Ye, I run 2.5 on the GSX, if your running any decent number 2.5 will be fine. Forget what PSI you said you wanted to run, but I stand by my word of whatever I said five months or ago or however long ago it was.

You could always visit your local exhaust shop and see if they have some thin stuff lying around.

supercow

yeah i searched summit some more, still nothing, maybe i aught to give them at call.

ham that exhaust shop idea is pretty good, i got a 6 ft piece of 2.5" for 10 bucks down the street last year, i not sure they'd stock anything that small but it's worth a shot.

^ Sorry mate, I'd missed that last thread of yours.

How much boost will you be running?

Yea, I'm running 2.5" and never had problems with lag. I was running 10psi.
The little pipe I actually got from work at a jobsite. It's 3/4" steel conduit. Just a worthless scrap piece that happened to be worth something to me. fing02.gif

All the other 2.5" tubes I got from JCWhitney. Cost about $125+/-
