Title: Hard Pipe\'s?
Post by: will2j on February 18, 2006, 12:53:20 PM
I have been hearing people talk about hard pipes for FMIC on their rex\'s. I know I\'m being very thick here but can someone post or send me a picture of what these hard pipe\'s look like on the car?

I would like to see some as I have hard pipes that go to soft pipes on my FMIC and would like to know if I can replace the soft pipes with hard ones

Cheers

Will

Will have you got any pictures of your intercooler pipes, this may give people a better idea on what you mean, and then be able to help out buddy :Thumbsup! The only thing i can think of if you are running twins and a front mount is that your metal intercooler pipes go to the rubber \'y\' pipe. You can make this metal by buying an later spec efini pipe, they are metal. (cant find any pics at the minute.)

These are the two pipes I mean,

The two rubber/plastic ones\' that attach to either end of my IC

As you can see I have hard pipes leading up tp them but the rubber/plastic ones connect them to the IC, I would like to get hard pipes that go all the way to the IC or ones to attach to the hard one\'s I already have.
