Fmic questions?!?!

I think the nice way to put it is like with all tasks, without experience there will be a learning curve involved resulting in many mistakes before perfection is achieved.

You are so right, if you want to learn something get tougher with an expert. Looked at a post, I use to bend much more than some O type aluminum tubing *grins* There is different hardness in this plus add steel and titanium tubing. Some of the lines feed the thirsty F110 GE engines. We are talking about fuel flow in the thousands of pounds. Having said that I have not done in in 26 years. My current job is at a desk

It pays the bills and for fun.

I am not saying not to do it but to do it well. Also you do not have to drift to put a lot of stress on a car. Outstanding parts will get you through the worse of time making them good. A cheap part will not only fail but make good components fail.

Try to think about how great it will be instead of just getting by

I bought a kit off eBay once for the MKIII. The make was CXRacing; I can't remember who the vendor was. The setup it was going on wasn't entirely stock so a couple pieces had to be cut and a couple others had to be purchased individually. It's pretty thick walled pipe and has bead rolled ends to help ensure a solid seal.

yea ive heard great things about cxracing's intercoolers and piping. My friend has a red top sr20 in his s13 and thats wat he used. Dont think it was too expensive either

I hadn't heard much about the company at all and I have had no experience with their ICs. The MKIII kit wasn't a perfect fit and even on a stock setup I think it'd be foolish to expect any low cost 'kit' like that to fit perfectly and without some modification. That said I was impressed that it came with real 4-ply, silicone couplers and T-bolt clamps.
