hey all

need a piece of custom intercooler piping made up?

anywhere in melbourne anyone can suggest?

at the right price?

cheers

:laugh:

u get what u pay for :wave:

any decent metal fabricating shop can make it up for you.

any exhaust shop can make it for you ...

etc ... ;)

heck, ive made exhausts and i/c piping before ...

It aint easy!

My 2c....its not hard to do right but its easy to get wrong. For good quality custom job it will cost up to $600...there is easily 8 hours work in doing it plus materials

hehe i know that all too well, godamnit

make sure you get the ends of each pipe lipped so to prevent hose blow-off!

awww, where is the fun in that ... no fun at all ... NONE ...

also get heavy duty t clamps

shyte all over regular hose clamps in every way, just dont crush the aluminium, (if ur pipes end up being made out of alloy)

:P

So far it has taken me around 8 hours to get 90% of the pipework complete for mine.

There is a lot of measure, mark, measure, fit, mark, measure, weld....

Mandrel bent sections are fantastic. If you do it by hand, make sure you have at least a miter box, and a hacksaw blade that is suitable for high speed steel so that you can get a nice clean and straight cut.

to save some money you could source the parts yourself,

Tubesales in Thomastown deliver high quality stainless steel bends and straight pieces anywhere in melbourne for around the $10 mark, if you are from the east side it is definately worth having it delivered,

the bends are approx $23 each and the 3 inch stainless is approx $16 per meter.

I found it to be pretty cheap.

they are in the white pages and are pretty good to deal with.
