Could always be cheeky and ask THS  :grin:

Surely it would just be easier to buy a pipe kit and do it yourself. I was going to replicate the THS kit, but it seemed like a long route. So I went straight over the gearbox and dropped down to the IC. All I did was bought a pipe kit of toyosports and a beading tool and cracked on with it.

where did you get the beading tool from??

also i thought this but i got my catch can there, unless i relocate but there is still the extra heat from the engine that will make the pipe hotter running it over  :undecided:

Here was my prototype design, TBH heat rises, so not much is transferred as I ran the pipes to the side and not over the engine. But I wasn't happy with it, so I instead did use exhaust heat rap, which is not to expensive for  giant reel with some jubilees.



Here's the beading tool, not cheap about £90 off ebay, yet since I've moved I cannot find it, extremely pissed about it, you put it in a vice and slowly turn the tube to  press it out.

Here's what engine bay looked after:



I have my catch can just floating to the side of the battery undertray. Also rejiggled the two horns around passengers side to make make some room for a 2.5" cold air intake.
