if you are really on a budget, im sure you could fab something up using old intakes or something like that.

I'm sure there's enough piping to do a SMIC if you want to.

Polyvinyl Chloride has a melting point of 212 degrees celcius. At that point, it can release toxic chemicals such as dioxin (which has been linked to cases of Angiosarcoma, but mainly in high exposure areas). Your motor could give a rat's *** about dioxin, it's YOU that you should worry about. That being said, the only part of your motor that will get 212 degrees celcius is something that passes right next to your exhaust manifold. Use a short piece of scrap pipe, then continue with your PVC. The melting point of ABS is 221 degrees celcius, so big ------- deal.

Re: Alternative intercooler Piping
I bought that piping for 49.99, I thing it would be smarter to run a front mount instead of a side mount cuz u get those 2 u bends. Wish it came with couplers though cuz they can get expensive
