Doing a custom rear mount turbo...where can i found piping? Is there a company who will just sell the piping that has already been modified for the rear mount turbo system? Instead of doing a custom job? Let me know guys!!! thanks.

STS makes the piping in their kit. They also sell a universal kit which is minus the piping.
So...to answer your question, No.
Just go to an exhaust shop and have them fab it. It shouldnt be too expensive, and just find someone reputable that semi understands what a charge is. Often times youll find that a custom fab with get you more ground clearance. GL

STS uses 2.25" pipe i believe, I used 2.5" and had a top quality muffler shop
mandrel bend everything. Mine runs under the rear axle(so you must disconnect it before lifting the car) so fewere bends. With FMIC there are 6 pipes total leading to the throttle body. I painted them all black and
everything tucks up real nice. I paid $375.00 total one day

Didn't see that you where in CA. The shop I used was in Downey Gene's Muffler. They are pretty far for you, but not too bad. They have done several exhaust setups in "hot rod" magazine. Plus it was true mandrel bends he didn't have a bucket of bent pipes, that just get cut and peiced together.
