Default fabricating is cool.....

boo-yah baby. figured i'd be all pimp and make some intercooler pipes. seems as how no neon kits want to have the piping run up top. i hated that, plus none of the kits had anything that would come close to fitting my johnny racecar intercooler. so without further ado, and don't make fun of my welds- on two of the pipes i just have the pieces tacked together, they'll be welded tomorrow. and yes i don't have my silicone couplers yet, and my bov isn't welded into place yet either. but i just had to show the pics so far cause i'm proud

first off the pipes themselves:

anyway as you can tell there's still lots of finish work to be done. but i'm just stoked to be where i am right now. and look forward to both a projects page from me and also to hear about how badass fast my car will be in about 3 weeks or so
oh baby i'm a pimp

hey thanks for all the positive comments so far, damn thing is i have to tack weld all the pipes with an arc welder and that sucks ***. it's hard cause i've got this really thin rod and the heat has to be just right. i need to take more lessons from my pop, no wait, what i really need to do is buy a mig welder. and airtronics i bet i have a lot more room than you because i deleted anything and everything that wasn't absoloutly necessary and also i've only got a 2.0 don't you have a 2.4? and abaz i should definitely have a good write-up for ya in a few weeks or so. \
i can't wait to get it going and hear that xs type h rfl baby yeah!

Looks nice. I couldn't imagine the excitement I would feel while fabbing up my own pipes. Seems fun.
