i ordered a downpipe from them and it didn't fit at all and i still haven't received my reimbursement. I would not order from them. Just get jcwhitney bends and some couplers its easy.

Im assuming its a civic si, but heres what i did

I took off my bumper, set my intercooler up on stands where it was goign to be mounted and measured away. Figured out about how much piping, bends, 45, 90 , 180's i needed. Then got on site and looked at what bends were avaialble and in what sizes. Remmeber you can make 45,90 bends out a 180 u bend so If your in doubt about some things order an extra 180 bend just in case you mess up.

If i can rememeber correctly i ordered like 3 180 u bends and 2 90 bends. I had some straights left over though. Jc whintey's shipping is also prety cheap, it was like $10

i made full 2.5" IC piping. my passenger side piping owns hard. my drivers side... kind of sucks. its a little tricky. make sure the bend you get from the turbo down has a tight radius.

Yeah, let us know man. I was looking to get them to do my IC piping too. But I am always sketchy about businesses with a lack of communication. You should never be too busy to stay in touch with customers. If you are too busy, then you are making enough money to hire somebody else!

His kid? I thought he was just busy getting ready for college and he was moving to a different state...he also said he had a serious burn accident...i ordered my downpipe from him and had a lot of problems with it...ended up doing A LOT of modding, but i got my reimbursement...

Def check out Howard at AR Fab...not sure on price but to weld a 3" stub on a tial flange was like 60 bucks...

You should have just made your own set. I got one of the swift intercooler pipe kits and had to hack it to **** just to get it to work right.

*update*

Still haven't recieved my order OR a tracking #. John said he would give me a full refund of my money on top of 2 day shipping for another IC kit from somewhere else if i didn't recieve my order today.

I was supposed to recieve his kit like 3 weeks ago, and I still have no idea why i didnt even recieve a tracking #.

i did and havent gotten money back for ic piping or my downpipe. extras were couplings and bov flanges. so im in the same boat as you but he wont answer me back on anything. if you get ahold of him have him email me at rustyskim@hotmail.com cause at this moment all i want is my money back. pm me if u want more details....its been about a month or so since it was supposed to be here.

last week I just got my money back from John @ Swift...originally in July I sent $200 for my 90 Teg downpipe(2.5" with e-cuout flange)...well he got caught up and never got to start my pipe. I understood that..he got burned badly, had to start school and some other things, but the only thing that bothered me is it took a few weeks of me IMimng him to get the money back, but eventually he sent me my money back. and he was very polite and apologetic.

I think John is a really nice guy, but like someone said in another thread...he was just starting his business and took on too many orders over the summer when he first announced...maybe this is the type of experience he needs to realize how to improve on his business technique for the future, unfortunately it inconviienced a lot of people and wasted their money(me being one of them)...all in all nice guy, but business ethic needs some work thats my $.02
