yeah, it looks pretty decent... already flanged, made for your specific car, annodized, bead rolled ends so it's harder to blow the line....

Just depends on if you're willing to put in more time for a more HMT style setup... personally, I bought something really close to this and it works well... up to you how much money you want to spend.

I would make your own charge piping, you can use EMT (its thin walled conduit), its like $25 at my local hardware store for a ten foot chunk, sizes from 2" to 3". You would just need to get it bent then and flanges put on, if you can weld, just take the emt to an exaust shop and have them make a coupple bends (around here like $2.00/bend).

You can just order some mandrel bends from one of the sponsors on here and make your own.I use only T bolt clamps and Ive never had a problem with popping couplers.

Ive also heard that you can spray the outside of each charge pipe with hairspray, then slip the coupler over them and clamp it down. The hairspray kinda cements it all together as it dries.
