What I would do for ANY car, Is to buy all U bends.. From one U Bend you can make either:
2 x 90 degree Bends..
3 x 135 degree Bends..
etc etc, you be creative..
and lots other.. You get more for the price of a U...

Yea just buy all Us, thats what I always use. You will need 4 or 5 in whatever diameter you want. As long as the legs are not too short you should not even need to buy any straight pieces.

4 x 2 1/2inch U BENDS...
Mild Steel, Aluminized.. For $100 shipped.. The U Bends were the Short version.. But its ok..Welding extra Longs...wont be a problem..

Re: (USDM 4G VTEC)
The other option is to cut and weld angles together. $22 total for a 12' section of normal piping. Enough to almost redo all my civic intercooler piping and some of the piping for a SR20 swap I'm doing.
Of course you need a welder, time, a chop saw, and time.
I'm using a POS gasless wal-mart ( camble-housfeld ) flux core welder and its working fine for me.
I'm only looking for 250whp tops, so I'm only using 2'' piping.
I did it before the "HMT.com way" by using different peices for older turbo cars, and a few radiator hoses, but I just got sick of chasing down boost leaks.
