Default Proper Charge Piping kit

The charge piping in my car is a mess and was wondering if anyone knows of a place that offers a proper charge piping kit. Preferably aluminum piping kit, polished and made to fit an EM1. Would also prefer something that doesn't have welds everywhere, just a clean mandrel bent kit.

Even they have quite a few welds. You aren't going to find a good kit that doesn't have welds. Unless you LOVE having couplings everywhere? Either way I would take a weld over a coupling any day.

SRE makes nice charge piping and very inexpensive. Ive been running their kit for about 6 years no issues, cost me about 100 bucks

This may sound horrible but im running a charge piping kit from ebay. It is a 3 peice kit. I ordered the one for a teg so the pipe drops infront of the radiator. It has 1 mandrel bent pipe that goes from t.b. to infront of the wheel then a 90* to the fmic and then one u bend on the hot side....ill see if i can find a link it was like 100-125 on ebay with no bov flang( ordered specifically since i run a blitz)

Thanks.
Ours will have welds as we build ours here, they arent pre fab/pre bent kits.
Weld count will depend on bend count, but the only visible welds are on the upper pipe; which for an EM1 Civic kit we wll have 3 welds on the upper pipe (2 pipe, 1 flange)

I had thought of that but I'm not too happy with the way the inline cold side fits to be honest. I would also like to relocate my battery in the passenger wheel well and that's right where the cold pipe currently runs.

The Go-Autoworks kit is perfect...the part that bugs me about it is the 2 welds on the upper pipe.

The SRE kit is sweet, but I don't like the GSR layout in the Civic.

I just contacted Treadstone Performance, because they almost have exactly what I am looking for but the problem with their kit is, 2.5 inch piping on the hot side and I have a 2 inch inlet on my intercooler.

I know, I'm difficult but I just want it to be as clean as possible.
