Default Intercooler Pipes

I need a set of the pipes. Let me know when they are ready to be shipped out. Nothing fancy for me..I just need the pipes.

Cheetah- Request Noted.

Macnewma- We can see about doing something like that as soon as all these pipes are out the door. It'll be configured such that it can be added later.

Duke- I had a intake manifold planned. Thats a little while down the road, since I will need to have some special dies made to make my own internal velocity stacks on a press. I don't like mig welding aluminum, and I try not to do it whenever I can. Unless you didn't mind the intake manifold being mild steel? It would sure cut down on the cost. Anything I can make in mild steel will be at least half the cost of aluminum or stainless. It can still be powder coated for corrosion resistance. The next product will be a test pipe, and if it sells well, I'll be able to afford a Tig setup.

BoostyG-

I assumed it would have to occur after you get this first batch of pipes done. I might try to fab my own, but I know nothing about metalworking.

So these pipes are MIG welded? Interesting.

Toluene is use to boost octane in gas. It is also used in the painting industry. From what I understand race gas has a more refined toluene in the gas blend than what you can buy in the paint store.
