Default Ghetto rig i/c piping...

Just wondering... who has used or made their own piping for i/c and charge pipes outside of a muffler shop ?

Anyone used something other than metal ?

How has it worked out for you... pics would be fun.

Am I mistaken or is that an elbow in your avatar?

My piping is a conglomeration between radiator hose and mandrel bends from JC whitney. It works fine and with some flatblack rattle can it looks pretty tight

Not looking to do the regular i/c piping... I've done my own mandrel bent 'cut and weld' jobs before. Just wondering if anyone has done anything 'exotic'....

ABS pipe is cosmetically superior to PVC pipe, both of which I've run.

Be careful using PVC. With time and heat PVC gets brittle and can bust at high boost.

www.toohighpsi.com 24 psi, works fine for the budget 351W Capri, that ran low 10's at that time. It now runs high 9's, faster actually but Mike lacks $$$ for safety equipment, off a Holset HX40 at 18 psi.

Everyone has an expert opinion on how PVC pipe works, none of them firsthand. Mine's held for 15K miles, and it does not become brittle.
