Heres the thing, I just finished putting my battery in my trunk this week :D (everything works and the car starts fine) but I need new intake tubing for my new air filter just curious if anyone would know where I could order it from (I've been told that jegs and summit sells them but never seen them in any of there magazines or on there web site) I pretty much just need a 90 degree elbow.
Well, I don't know exactly what you're looking for. But, Jeg's and Summit sell exhaust piping in all different sizes and lengths. Varying J and U, and other bends. If you're looking for metal, that's what I'd go w/.
I'm looking for something like this guy has on his turbo charger http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/439462
Pieces like that can be found on Ebay, or even Advance Auto or Autozone. Get rough measurements of what you are looking for out from the inlet, and then from that point towards the engine. The intakes meant for the Civics/Integras will fit in there IIRC. You could probably make something like this work..

www.atpturbo.com has aluminum tight radius mandrel bent pipe.

my brother ordered all of his intake piping from ATP for his GLH Turbo and he had no problems with them at all, and everything worked great.
I was just looking around that site, damn that's expensive stuff. They claim shipping weight for an aluminum 90* 6" leg pipe at 6#'s. The SS version (same size) is only 3.5# shipping weight? WTF? Is that price for 1 elbow or 3? :shock:
Ok so if the aluminum is $28 and the (SS) steel is $28. Which one is a better buy? :?
the aluminum is way lighter, and according to my brother was very easy to cut and deburr.
i agree, ATP's prices are steep. my brother spent about $25-$30 on each pipe section. in all i think he spent about $480 on induction materials from ATP, which included the pipe sections, ATP weld-on modular BOV mounting flanges, silicone couplers/reducers & hump hoses, and T-bolt clamps. if you're really bored you can read about his setup and see detailed pics here:

Thanks,
Now that I have my tubing ordered I can finally drive my Grand Prix again. 8)
