Post by: dan2252 on 22 May 2012, 22:40
hello there :) right as pay day is coming up its modding time! haha so whats a fair price would you say for 2inch/2.25 custom pipe work that would run from the turbo down to the right hand side of the front mount? and also my exhuast flexy has gone too so will need a new one welding in its a 2.5 if that matters? can get the flexy for 15 20 quid off ebay its just its stainless so my mate cant weld it :( boo  i just dont wana be ripped off when i go down at the weekend so thought id see what you guys have paid ? thanks in advance Danny

You don't wanna settle with 2" pipe work as it will be pretty restrictive on your power, if your gOing to the effort of gettin custom pipe work made then go or 2.5"  :cool:

ah right, i wernt sure what size to go for like. i was just worried if i went too big id be making too much lag thats all, them kits youve linked come with a front mount dont they? ive already got one on the car so daft having 2 haha :) gonna be best to go custom i think, dont supose anybodys got any pics of how there boost pipes run have they? and what every1 has found best. Mine runs down between the airbox and sits pretty much ontop of the gear box atm makes it slightly stiff to get into 5th which is anoyying :( thanks in advance danny :)

Danny already has a FMIC, his current boost pipes are garbage and keep blowing off so he's looking to get some custom ones made up to replace his existing ones.

I would also go for 2.5", if you need to see the boost pipes I'll send you a pic of my bay later. I was round at Matt's the other night and he was asking about pipes and diverter valves. You finally going to get rid of the dump valve?

yes mate geting rid of the dump valve soon as, ive got a massive list of things first its sort boost pipes and exhuast then get a forge 008 or a 007 see what i can find at the time. im gonna go with 2.5 then seems best idea every1 ive spoke to seems to say so, im just trying to fiquire out when i have these boost pipes made or i either buy one if i need anything for the recirculation valve like as i dont wana get some nice pipes made then have to chop into them haha, its gonna be a epic task to get rid of these nasty boost pipes haha and yeah be nice to see how yours is set up mate
