Look around at some of the diesel truck suppliers. Jose at Forced Inductions recommended I do that when I was putting together my kit.

I did alot of research on hoses with suppliers and landed on this...
Go and buy "tank truck" hose, it will be your piping and flanges all in one for a fraction of the cost.

Do you have a web link for an example? When I do a search on "Tank Hose" I get the kind of flanges and hose that 18 wheeler fuel trucks use to load gasoline to service stations, etc.
Thanks,

People use that hose for the "Couplers".

I've found some useful sites during my build. I'll send a PM over.

Ace Stainless for all my hot side bends, Metal Supermarket for the straight sections as well as material for the flanges, and I have connections with a mill and a flow jet, so I get my flanges for CHEAP

for your flanges, get a piece of plate steel from your local steel supply, and a jig saw with a metal cutting blade. guy on here built his own lsx rx7 swap kit and did all his flanges and gusset plates like that, looked fantastic.
