Why are you so adamant about buying a made to fit piping kit? Intercooler piping is easy ---- man. You're still considering Ebay kits and while you continue to do that; you're not going to be happy. Chinese stuff sucks royal ***. It's all crap; IDC what anyone trying to sell you something says. That Racing Solutions piping looks much better. Spend some dough on 4-6 high end couplers and also buy non-Chinese clamps. The Chinese ones fold in on themselves and cause boost leaks almost immediately. Then find somebody who can TIG properly and have them weld your kit up like DMC1 specified.

Even if the kit is specifically made for your car, there will still be fitment issues because every car is different and so is every FMIC. I don't think there are specific kits for your Civic with a CCA fmic lol. The best bet is to have one custom made for your car alone. If you were local I'd do it for free and out of aluminum which is by far the best material for IC piping imo. Do it once and do it right my friend. You may have to drop an extra $100, but then you won't have to worry about something as ridiculous as IC piping.

you need my couplers then. i have never had one come off. i can hook you up with a hell of a deal if you want to use that pipe with blue couplers. i have a 2' section i'll do $55 shipped on. i have cut 2, 3" sections off of it, but i will include those too. i cut them for a guy and then he changed his mind
