Sure.Figure out your length and wrap somm black tape around it then cut it with a hacksaw or whatever you got.Then take it by a hose/hydraulics/fittings shop and have them crimp a new fitting on the end.Industrial hose and fitting shops also sell really nice high grade silicone hose by the foot for making couplers.I see alot of people paying out the *** for braided lines,silicone etc when you can go by any industrial hose/fitting supply place and get the same thing in the same or better quality for half price.Good luck with the Toyota project.Keep us updated.

yeah.. i was at home depot yesterday n was checkin out couplers.. they have 3 inch and 2 inch.. not 2.5!!!!.. made me really sad.. I have all the charge piiping, but it was off a civic, so im thinkin im gonna have to buy 1 or 2 charge pipes/ couplers for the FMIC to fit properly. lol but i have no clue where to find an idustiral hose/hydraulics/fittings shop.. but i was thinking for a strait charge pipe if i need it i could grab an aluminum pipe from home depot or autozone.. but if i need a mandrel bent piping, then i dunno where im going...

ehhh.. so im just keeping the braided inlet line as is... just coiling it so it looks a little better.. im happy as long as im gettin oil... got syllicone oil out tubing with brass fitting and jb weld =].. HMT style... The guy at the hardware store said the tubing would eventually turn into mush.. so i just said "cool.. thanks".. n went off n bought it =]. also picked up some fernco couplers which i guess seal and last a long time according to the guy. and some WD-40. oh yeah and 5 quarts of mobil 1 synthetics..... so im all set..

HOping to hook everything up toamrrow (mondaY) after school for 2 hours, and then when i get off work at 9 until completeted.. Not stopping til its done. =]... That is if my friend finishes welding the flange onto the d-series mani by tomarrow.. if he doesnt im gonna kick him in the nuts.. Anyways.. I'll let you guys know how its going toamrrow night.

OH one thing.. hes making the manifold, but i forgot to tell him to make a place for the O2 sensor. :P.. i was thinkin bout that today.. should i cut mine tomarrow morning and give it to him to weld in tomarrow? WEll let me know ASAP.. Later

Put your O2 in the downpipe it is alot easier to mount in the exhaust pipe than the manifold.

will it give the same reading as if it was in one of the runners or manifold?? i thought i read somewhere that it gives u diff readings.. o well.. im going to do it anyways lol... and.. will the o2 sensor make the car run any diff if its hooked in or not.. cuz i thought it was jsut the map sensor u cant disturb... neways.. let me know.
