I'm 50% sure I want to do this. My biggest dilemma right now is figuring out how to get all of the piping done. I do NOT have easy access to a mandrel bender.

So... if I'm going the "custom" route and NOT buying a kit, would you have ANY idea what I need to do as far as piping goes?

I'm looking for advice from someone who has done this before...

What bends did you buy? How much cutting was involved? Did you have to get piping bent anywhere?

Any advice would be fantastic. Thanks!

I got all my pipe in generic bends from summit and jegs. Then took it to a muffler shop and they did the cutting and welding.

I'd have access to welding torches and all kinds of cutting devices that would be good enough to do the job. Would that alone be enough to get everything all done? Without the use of a mandrel bender?

Also, can I just go ahead and weld the system so I don't have to waste time and money with silicone and T-bolt clamps? Of course I wouldn't be able to do that for the MAF and TB, but for the rest of the system..?

Look on e-bay there are a bunch who sell bends(90,s 45,s "U" "J"), couplings and clamps ect. You can cut mock and weld as needed. I think your going to have your hands full with a project like this. Trying to plumb a FMIC and the Twins. Projects like this always seem easier on paper vs when you get started. At least it did for me when I made my custom setup. But who say it cant be done.....

Just to clarify- I'd like to ditch the twin setup and replace it with a FMIC. Not keep them both.
