size piping used on low budget setup
 
alright, what size piping does everyone use on their setup, i mean a low budget setup, not some plished bling bling setup. im using 2 in, but i hear some use 2 1/4, i have some bov's and im going to mount them to piping and sell them, but i want to know what size piping i should use... or maybe i should buy both... hmm.. well just post what you use and i'll think about what im gonna do.

i use whatever i have laying around...from 2 inch to about 2.5...so are you making piping kits or just mounting the bov to a section of pipe?

why not just sell the flanges, then it wouldnt matter

this type doesnt use a flange, it is going to slip into a piece of pipe, (its plastic) and probably some jb weld to seal it. I'll see though.i'll do a few in 2 in and a few in 2 1/4

Stick to 2" piping man. I can honestly tell you for your set up your not gonna have any advantage with the larger piping, just a bit more lag

that is if i cant find the exact size piping to that it fits, i'd say it more of security.. not sealant ;D and if i do find the right size i'll probably still use it,security secuirty ;)

Well you could still use some kind of round flange and then jb weld that thing b4 hand. Would look much neater and you can get a more solid jb weld if you do both sides b4 hand.

they're just bosch bov's, i plan on jb welding mine in ;D it's small enough to where you'll just have to cut around it to make the whole bigger in order to upgrade anyways.
