You could always go on the bay and buy some lengths of alloy pipe, silicone angles and jubilee clips. It wouldn't cost much for you version 2.

the whole point was to use drain pipe due to it being readily available... much cheapness  :grin:

i like it as said cover with carbon wrap or paint it and it will look good, i thought my old bit of exhaust polished was good for an induction kit cant beat your use of a drainpipe though. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

cheers for the positive comments guys... thats as far as it goes with the pipe though im afraid, no frills cosmetics for me.  :sad:
the car to me, is a tat mobile doesnt look too impressive, which is how i want it to be honest.. as long as its mechanically good then i am happy.. it`s costing me more than i can afford to sort the mechanical bits out.

thats how i work save money on one thing and its money to put to another, saved a packet over the years making me own things and doing bits myself, i have a wife and 2 kids and a large dog so my budget is very low and takes me time to do things but get there in the end and enjoy every minute of it.  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
