What do you guys use for cold side piping, about all I can find is exhaust pipe, and I don't want that much weight if I can help it?

that is what i am using....my cold side piping is 3" exhaust......i went to midas and asked them to bend me a couple 45's and a couple 90's, and to be sure they did the bends with as little kink in the pipe as possible........i believe there are a couple vendors here too, that can get mandrel bent piping that has zero kinks......little more expensive then regular exhaust pipe..........hotwheels

it was under a hundred bucks........can't remember right off hand......just call around to some local exhaust shop's in your area and tell them what you need and get a price quote......that's what i did and midas was the least expensive

look down at the bottom of the page for the mild steel mandrel bends on ebay. They are pretty damn cheap. all them are under $17. http://search.ebay.com/mandrel-bend_W0QQsofocusZbsQQsbrftogZ1QQfromZR10QQcatrefZC 6QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQfsopZ1QQfsooZ1QQcoactionZcompar eQQcopagenumZ1QQcoentrypageZsearch

If you want low weight, you can get mandrel bn Aluminum pipe and piece it together with that.

I used Old tailpipes from a 94 GT and a 00 GT. :D
