Yes, aluminum is good...

This intercooler piping kit doesn't really look like it'd fit that well...

buy it and prove me wrong. (or right)

lol, jdm tuner team, the name says it all. I dont think those are the right bends for any honda set up ive seen, not to mention the clamps and silicone that come with it dont appear to be the quality youd want either.

It's just a bunch or random bends and sold as a kit. If you have to ask then maybe you shouldn't be going turbo... "Made out of High Quality Alunimum Black Coated Finish" LOL! One he can't spell, and two, black coated finish. Deos he mean Krylon? Thanks, but I'd rather pay my exhaust shop $40 to bend me up some crappy crimp tube then give that guy my money.

Yes aluminum piping does work and does work well, its light as ----.

Im using it on my setup now on 13 or so pounds

Dont buy that specific kit though, search intercooler piping and theres asick kit that you can get for $110, comes with 8 bends (2 straight, 2 45's, 2 70's and 2 90's) it also comes with like 8 couplers I think, 6 regular silicone ones and 2 90 degree couplers

I got mine in 2.5" piping and made a sick kit, fit beautifully and if youre smart youll have a lot of piping left over like I did, 5 pieces I think I still have, the 90* couplers help a lot and there expensive if you buy them seperate

I forget the companies name though, they sell a bazillion different types

The only downside I see is that i cannot weld aluminum and jb welded my bov to the intake, holds fine though
