It will be aluminum piping. I just want a ballpark figure. The shop I'm going to won't give an estimate to me until they look at the car and I need to know how much to set aside.

Thanks.

SR20DEVELOPMENT is charging me $600 to make the IC pipes for my INCON setup. My pipes cost more than the core I'll be using:eek:

I have zero experience in welding. Wanna teach me? :p

By doing it yourself, you don't *need* to know how to weld. That's what muffler shops are for. :)

I have *maybe* $110 in my IC pipes, all mandrel bends from JC Whitney. With 4-5 silicone (Purosil) connectors and some t-bolt clamps, you are in business.

exactley, just make the measurements yourself and then bring it to a muffler shop or someone that welds and have them weld the piping for you it shouldn't cost you that much, 600 is a lot of cheddar for pipes that cost less than 50 .

I am not sure of the exact price but I got the whole kit from HS for $950. This includes the piping,clamps,couplers,BOV,filter,and HKS IC. I know the IC cost around $540, so If I was to guess HS could probably sell you the IC piping for around $300-400? Call them and ask for Don. Oh yeah, that is powder coated also.

my guy at carx bent all of my pipe and i had a little extra for $75. i also used 2.5 inch. its not mandrel, but its not crush either. a few pics are in members rides.

I made mine out of Home depot connectors and JCwhitney mandrel bends. $60 for everything. Make sure to have your pipes bead rolled, otherwise you will keep having to put the pipes back on from when they pop off, and, as a result, have to continually buy new connectors. I went silicon and will bead roll them.

Will do. Car should be done in the next couple weeks.. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions for you, too.
