I ordered all mine from ATPTurbo.com. I got the U-Bends from E-Bay from a guy called UBendMan. The silicone connectors and clamps were expensive though, I paid almost $160 for like 6 connectors, 16 clamps, 2 reducers, and 2 T3 gaskets.

13 Clamps? Whats the extra one for?

I got 2 gaskets because I want to make sure my turbo seals, I have the e-bay manifold and I don't know if my flange is warped.

Mine cost so much because I got two transistions, at $17.50 a pop, those add up quick. The T-bolt clamps aren't exactly cheap either.

Are you guys just going into the throttle body with a 90 degree elbow? I am redoing some of my piping and getting rid of the black air box, so what are you guys using to go into the throttle body? Thanks.

im using mild, its cheaper and its pretty much just as good. just paint mild steel to prevent rust, its alot cheaper.

^ Doesn't really matter, if you want polished pipes, go stainless, if you want cheap and something you can paint, go mild steel or aluminum if you can find it (much lighter).

i would use aluminum since it probably costs around the same a SS or less, doesn't rust, plus it will help to keep the air cooler. As for silicone couplers, the ATP ones are very good, is all that I use. They are expensive like Shifted said, i paid $40 bucks for a 45 degree coupler, and another $40 for a 90 degree... I should've just bought more piping
