custom intercooler piping kits
 
Im getting to the point in my build where i need to figure something out for my IC piping. my build is as follows.

F20b
hx35
lovefab ramhorn
skunk2 IM


I dont have the FMIC yet but i know its going to consist of a regular entrance or exit? on the passenger side with a backdoor entrance/exit? on the driver side as the compressor exit on the turbo will be a straight shot from it to the FMIC.

so im basically looking for a company that has had a job to this extent. I know every job is going to be a little bit different but all i really need is a pipe that runs from the TB to the hole that leads down behind the front bumper.

so i guess im just looking for shops people have had experience with that was good quality and all around a good experience with the shop/personnel there.

Looks like you're asking for shops that will take the car and make the piping for you. Not companies online that will just ship piping based upon the chassis. Is this correct?

yes, my title is misleading sorry. im not looking for a "kit".

I need a shop that could make me something but right now my problem is i work alot easily 70hours+ in a week so its hard for me to have the time to get the car to the next biggest town (chicago) to a place that could fabricate me something. and this is also why I cant do it myself as time/having the tools to actually be able to do it.

they are about 4 or 5 hours away from me. i talked to them about my FMIC and for that they said they would want the car there let alone for the IC piping.

i respect that they want the car there to get the best fitment for everything but its as i said working monday thru saturday its hard to find the time to even get away from work let alone b able to make a trip to chi town and back haha

ask a friend or a fellow employee if you can borrow a vehicle for a week.... also when you start getting into turbo charging a honda (big power out of a small motor) its always a wise investment to purchase a commuting vehicle like a plain old hatchback for 1000 bucks or something... i have my 600hp del sol in the garage and an mdx for daily commuting. just a thought

you could also ask local body shops if anyone there can tig weld and you could order mandrel bends from online and have someone tig weld the piping together... again what happens if there is a hickup in that time period and you do not have a vehicle for the next day for work... i found a guy here in virginia that tig welds out of his garage...

seriously...

Wanna set it up for a Saturday or Sunday ? Drop the car off Friday night and pick it up Sunday night ? We understand some people have to work Monday-Friday, we'll work around that if you want.

Give a shout again if this would work out for you.
