i have a stock ic with bigger inlet / outlet front mounted but who sells nice 3" pipes that are the correct bend & length?

You are looking for a DP correct not pipes for the IC? You have a duttweiler neck on a stock IC correct. You said front mounted so that was a little confusing.

For a DP check the FS section here if you want new check out RJC. www.rjcracing.com
They are just one vendor that carry DP's there are others.
The vendor section here will help as well.
 
yes intercooler pipes to go to throttlebody & turbo from front mount stock ic with dutts yes.

The Up pipe from the TB to the stock location IC, many vendors have these. G Body, Kirban etc. Check the vendor section.

A stock location IC is not considered a Front mount IC. A Front Mount would be installed in front of the radiator these are not stock.
 
When i say stock i mean stock size except dutt inlets but it is front mounted, im aware that there are plenty shops with stock location ic pipes but im lookin for someone who makes the pipes that go to a stock ic that is front mounted! Preferably 3"

nobody makes pipes to install a stock intercooler upside down mounted behind the grille
besides unless the duttneck was installed backwards the outlet and inlet will have to cross each other because the inlet will be on passenger side and outlet on driverside

if you're insistent on doing this you should hit ebay up for one of those fancy ricer intercooler hose kits .
also dont see what you need 3" for when the stock IC outlet and dutt inlet is only 2.5"
 
its just a thought, someone made my current pipes im using but theyr not too smooth or nice looking so i was thinkn bout replacing them & was just curious about how to go about doing that. i would like some nice mandrel bent polished pipes or something, plus my pipes are heavy!

That all sounds like a lot of work simply to use a stock type IC.
Which even with a dutt neck - is no great shakes.

Wouldn't it be much cleaner, and probably less expensive to just use a "normal" type FMIC?
I must be missing something.

Me too. :confused:
 
I can only guess that its because the OP's setup is already done this way. He's just looking for a cleaner look. Def out of the ordinary though.....

yep but it must work somewhat cuz the car runs damn good. just wierd piping

Nothing weird about it except that the I/C piping wasn't made professionally.

Poor mans front mount is what I see. I/C in front gets direct airflow [more efficient]and the PO was to cheap or didn't have the cash to outlay for FMIC and the associated piping.
 
True dat zombie, i dont have a grand for a rjc front mount either, or this jackleg design wouldnt be there lol.
