Okay guys, feel free to add yourselves to the list. So far I've got the following. By putting your name on the list you ARE NOT obligated to buy, but it gives me an estimate of how many to ask for. The more the the cheaper it will get. I'm aiming at a price of around $30, and remember shipping is free for all of you, courtesy of me! Very Happy

So far I've got the following people interested: (feel free to add your name)

While the pipe looks sweet, do you think it may rob some performance by re-heating the compressed air that was cooled in the intercooler? The engine heat transfer thru the metal pipe will certainly be more than the rubber hose, which could reverse the effects of the intercooler somewhat. Just an idea. Does look sweet though.

You are absolutely right that is why the pipe should be wrapped into some insulation.There are several different material to choose from.

Your concern have been brought up before. I wouldn't worry about it too much as you didn't factor in how fast the air moving inside the pipe and how much of engine temperature will able to affect the air inside the pipe.

In addition, you can either wrapped the pipe with insulation material or my vented hood mods that will decrease some of that under hood temperature.Cool

More important factor is how boost can be hold constant and at higher pressure compare to rubber OEM pipe. Very Happy

Here is one of the thread

guess i never got around to making that heat wrap guide a how-to. Warren, you think you could use some moderator skills to get it moved to the how-to section?
