Default where do you guys get your cold piping from??

I'm ready to start running my cold piping but I don't know exactly where a quality place to get it from is..I've seen them on ebay but you never know if you're going to get some crap and have to get some good ones later anyways...I need some 3" piping btw...

Good deal man...That sounds great...So the silicone connectors are up to par for around 15psi on occasional use?? I don't mind replacing every now and then but I just don't want them to fail constantly...Thanks for the input guys

That's what I was worried about...Sooo what I'll probably do is just get the piping from ebay or whatever and then buy some quality silicone connectors...

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

The charge piping from ebay will end up looking like this for you guys who go that route.
I used mild steel to go into the maf only because I had the pipe laying around and already have a steel BOV flange.

You need an elbow coming off your maf?? Mine is set up with a 4"->3.5" 90* elbow (from the intake to maf), then a 3.5"->3" reducer (straight) for the maf to charge piping. At least I think those sizes are right..

Most silicon fittings are good for 15 or more psi. It just depends on quality. We use mostly 5ply fittings here and never blown one apart. The only fitting we have blown apart was a 4" obx elbow that was super thin and flimsy, that peice was replaced by a 3 ply and it is still holding. By the way, we sell fittings here also, we can get you pretty much any fitting you want in 3ply and 5 ply. We also have front mount intercooler cold pipes for the f-bodys.
