Default Cost of intercooler piping

What is the average cost of piping for a procharger kit when converting to a front mount intercooler. Does anyone know someone who sells this piping? Or is there any place in the houston area that could custom bend some for my car?

Search for performance curve on Ebay for SS 3 inch tubing. A lot of us have gone with them and the prices can't be beat for SS. 36 bucks for a length of multibend tubing.

My upper pipes from outlet of the first pipe into the engine bay to the TB are now aluminum, the weight savings was very good. I reckon I saved 2-3lbs easy by going with the aluminum, these aluminum pipes weigh nothing. Now finding that stuff on ebay took awhile but wasn't really expensive, the upper half costed me around 55 bucks to complete. Glad I didn't need to weld any aluminum together as I'm too poor to afford a tig
