you can get a BIG radiator hose (probably go up to 2.5) from an autoparts store for the connector, dunno about the U-bend, man, cept JCwhitney.com... my car bolts are ****, too, but the ones that go to the downpipe (spring tensioned) are alright, isn't that all you have to remove?...

what exactly is a "f-max integra piping kit"? because if you bought it off someone else.. then youre going to have to most likely customize it to fit your setup.

no...don't cut the pipes...just order some silicon flex hoses....you can get them from:

They'll allow you to deviate a bit...

so wait, your piping doesnt fit on your car, which is an integra kit designed for your specific yr and model? thats weird b/c i played w/ my kit by just test fitting and it seemed fine.
