honestly you could make the whole thing for really cheap. Get some mild steel or aluminum bends and straits from kteller and have a muffler shop weld them for you

Never would have thought of that. I would think it would come really close as far as fitment and routing.

A few issues/observations.

Of course it's gonna need a flange for the BOV. +/-

The couplers may not hold up well in a boosted application. -

The pipe ends may need to be bead rolled to prevent couplers from blowing off. -

Its got nipples for vaccum lines. +

Gonna need better hose clamps. -

The piping looks to be ALUMINUM!!! +++ ?

That's the most I've typed in a while. Excited. Where did you find these? googling right now. How much?

Ebay! Signing in and gonna BUY IT NOW!

They are aluminum but this would only cover the cold side. Still need the turbo side. Still not bad.

You can make your own for cheaper than 53 bucks. You're going to need new clamps anyways, so why waste your time. With shipping those are like 80 bucks.
