Cheapest way to make IC piping?
 
Which would you guys do, not looking to spend more than $40 total. Yeah im cheappppp

Flexible exhaust piping, black pvc piping oorrr a bunch of radiator hoses??

flex pipe works but out of what you listed rad hoses work the best. go to the jy on 1/2 off day and look for factory volvo turbo cars they have good hoses to work with

i thought about that. but man junkyards around here are retards. wanting like $80+ for turbos, $125 for a damn civic hood. eh ever seen pics of flexpiping??

yeah and it does work i used a short peice when i didnt have a 90 one time but pvc will blow apart when it gets hot. i have put 20+ psi through a bunch of factory dsm hoses and rad hoses. i make all my good couplers out of truck radiator hose its tough stuff been tested time and time again at 25+ psi and over 500hp

i bought 10ft of pvc piping for $3.44 lol

i've already cut it up and mocked it up, gonna use 2" radiator hoses to connect them. woot, grand total of $8 spent for ic piping and "couplers" ;D
gonnna use radiator flex hose for the turbo to lower ic piping, dont wanna risk pissing off the pvc with heat

im seriously cheap..

My favorite way is exhaust pipe and pie cuts. ---- you can get a HF wire feed and the pipe for a lil more then one of those kits. Then you can do your exhaust aswell.

i was gonna do that but that ---- is like $7 for 1 1/2 ft at autozone.

no you gota hit up a small buisness type exhaust shop. you can even get them to put some rough bends in it cheap, and you get like a 10 foot section.
