how much am i looking at to buy pipes for my pipings? i can do the welding and cutting.

 

are we talking exhaust piping? or intercooler piping?

 

intercooler pipings.

 

I think I spent $30 bucks or so on the U-bands from http://www.jcwhitney.com You can get the hose for the couplers from http://www.roadraceengineering.com for pretty cheap. As far as the clamps go I would get the T-bolt style which can be found at http://www.mcmaster.com Plan on spending around $100 depending on how many couplings and clamps you need.

what size piping should i use?

 

im turboing my 99 si right now and im gonna use 2.5" piping and im just gonna use radiator hose from napa for the couplers, its way cheaper and works exactly the same

 

ok well looking on JCwhitey and i didnt find that piping.
do they have different kinda piping like 180, 45, 90?

search archives.. theres a great how to with part numbers and everything in there for 6th gen civics.

sorry im too lazy and at work, to search for you.

 

This is what I used on my 99 si:
turbo to IC = 1 - 90 degree & 1 - U bend w/ 24" legs
IC to TB = 1 - U bend w/ 24" legs & 1 U bend w/ 12" legs

requires only two welds and 6 couplings total counting turbo/IC/TB connectors

I don't have pics yet, if you look on the JC Whitney site, it will tell you the length ie: 24" or 12" or 18" etc
