Default volvo "up pipe" for civic/CRX guys

Just wanted to make a thread about this up-pipe from a volvo that I'm using. Its off one of those volvos that came with the 2.4L and .42/.48 T3 garrett turbo. I used a right angle and its up pipe to make a PERFECT up pipe From the TB to the pass. fender-well ( like a cold air intake ). Not only does it fit perfect, but its at least 2.75'' piping. If you happen to see an old *** volvo in the yards check for the up-pipe also. Hopefully I'll get some pics of my finished car soon and you guys can see it. But it worked so well, I had to make a thread about it...

bringing this thread back since I have a link to some pics (FINALLY!!! ).

The volvo that this pipe comes off of is that same one that has the adjustable by-pass valve on it. And giant radiator looking IC that has plastic end-tanks.

Again, it took car of the everything from where the DSM side mount ICs could/would go to right before the T/B ( I just added a 90 degree bend). Its the perfect bends and perfect diamitor ( of course the battery has to be relocated ).

Pics of the IC pipe set-up on my car are at:

I had hear stories of the home depot rubber couplers expanding and bustering ( sooner or later ). The "duct tape" is just to stop the rubber from expanding smart ***.
