what can I use for custom Charge pipings??
 
I just wanted to know if anybody has certain charge pipes set ups in there integra they woulde like to share with me. I have a shop around were i live that would probably do it, but i think he's a rip off. What other (easy way) methods to do a custom piping. I have a colde air intake, but using those dsm intercoolers. I seen flex hoses,welded pipe pieces, and flex exhaust etc. can someone show me an easier way?

California.... A muffler shop was charging me 65 just to bend and weld an adapter for the BOV... and in TJ they probably charge me like 20...

damn, sounds a little too expensive for me. will flex pipes hold boost? or will it leak air? i'm plannin to use my existing cai and attach the flex pipe to the turbo and so on. B4 i do this somebody tell me if it's okay? or it won't work at all?

why not use that bendable exhaust piping that you can buy at autopart stores. its quite strong, and you can clamp rubber couplings on it.
way better than abs piping.

just go to JC whitney and get some of the galvanized steel exaust pipe 2.5 inches. They have many different bends in them (nice mandrel bends) and hella cheep too. Dont mess with pvc itll melt. Steel is better than aluminum for this app because aluminum conducts heat better than galvanized steel, and the cooler air is way worth the added weight of steel, and its cheaper and easier to work with
