Default Procharger aluminum piping?



Is that a custom install or is that how the kit comes stock nowadays? my kit has the rubber hoses and the one of the right is being clamped down by my hood, it would be nice to get those aluminum pipes to place the rubber ones i got. is it possible to buy these from ATI or some other place?

thanks!

I would say that it is a custom install, because I bought my P1SC this year and it came with the rubber hoses. I would not mind converting to those.

That was the very first kit procharger came out with. Later, they revised it by putting in sold rubber hose.

I bought my ATI kit after reviewing this picture also and was a little surprised and disappointed that it came with more rubber than aluminum plumbing.

Probably cost. Everything always has to do with cost But of course I'm sure they still sell it for the same.

maybe it is the fact that it hits the bottom of the hood and with the rubber one it wont mess up the hood that bad or vibrate. Just a guess

I had Nate(Nasty Performance do hardpiping on my Camaro. The picture was taken right after i had everthing powder coated. It cost me like $325. It is definelty the way to go, you have instant boost and it stays there until your foot comes off the pedal. Definetly worth the money. Go to his site and check in Intake, My car is the first and second to the last without powder coating.
