31x12x3 Core from CX Racing from ebay
(2) 2.75" pipe kits from ebay
1 Case of coors light from walmart
2 Awesome Sccoa Buddies for help (Thanks again nmcbchief and Jeff Bratton!!)
Total investment 365$
I still need to repaint the top two pipes to hide the welds but it turned out great! no leaks! and minimal couplers! (6 total) I will say though i ordered bare pipe with the intention of paint or powdercoat and they sent black which at the time seemed cool but it really sucked bad! the crap was powdercaoted so it was a royal pain in the butt the get that stuff off to weld it!! So far the act's seem to hover around 8/10f above ambient and it recovers FAST from boost! The return is the short pipe which seemed to me like a logical way to do it and the return is ice cold compared to the inlet pipe.
Tools :
Milwaukee 14" abrasive chop saw
Black and decker 4.5" angle grinder with a flapper wheel
Deburing tool (for inside of pipes)
Everlast tig welder (thanks for bringing it Nmcbchief!)
DeWalt 1/4" drive cordless impact (very handy for use on the super fine thread clamps when you have to take them on and off a zillion times durring fabrication)
