Default Help me pick out some I/C piping

I have decided to go with RRE (Road Race Engineering) for my intercooler piping and down pipe piping. They have a wide selection but im a little confused as to what I should actually be getting. Im looking for what size, bends, material... I drive an 87 Civic Si with a B20VTEC and my intercooler is 36x6. Im basically looking for the bends as the strait pipes are easy to find. If anyone eles has any suggestions let me know.

remember to take into consideration the maximum flow to and from your IC. bigger pipes wont do anything if the IC cant flow that much air.

I bought bends from JC Whitney and cut them where I needed.


all piping I bought was 2.5" diameter

I bought ONE 24" U bend

TWO 12" U Bends

ONE 90 degree bend

Here is a good site that tells about the piping, where to cut, what to buy.
