anyone know of a good place to get 3" hardpipes w/o spending a trillion dollars (that's right Bill, none for you)

how much does it cost to extrudently (?) hone my intake manifold?
(I had a chance to buy one for $600 - is that good?)

I have an MAF, kkk27-6 turbo, and soon to have a 3" exhaust, plus a lot more irrelevant things
think they would be worth the money?

Just curious, why would you want 3" hardpipes? I think the largest any vendor even offers is 2 1/2". The hardpipes aren't the issue on most higher hp engines,,it's the size(2.5, 2.7, 2.8, 3.0L), turbo, intercooler, injectors, software or engine management.

Extrude hone is nice but if you ever get serious about a new intake manifold, Lindsey or Speed Force. You can also have someone do some custom work on yours....

Extrude honing a manifold usually runs about $300, depends on the individual part and I've never checked on pricing for this car. I'd save the $600 and put it towards one of the totally new manifolds Ski mentioned, they aren't that much more money.

The hard pipes aren't a restriction, there's no real reason besides cosmetics to change them - that said, I'm also looking for the cheapest source.

Every bend in the intake and exhaust system will cause a pressure drop.If you get rid of the bends, you will have less pressure drop.

Your stock intercooler is 2 1/4" od and your throttle body(biggest part) is 2 3/4". So a 3" pipe is only going to give yo more head aches.

I don't really care about the 3" but I do want to get the bend that used to go around the air box out

any place to get them?
