hard pipe kit
Anyone know if a hard pipe kit is available for the 4M40?? I would love to get rid of those spongy boost hoses...

Re: hard pipe kit
Neat site, thanks for the link. I am surprized there isn't more available. For that price I can get something made local, but the expansion take has caught my eye.....

Re: hard pipe kit
made my own out of 1.5" and 2" copper pipe that i soldered toether with 45s and 90 deg fittings and a bit of pipe.... make the top one out on 1.5" pipe as the wiper arms WILL hit the top pipe unless you do it correctly.... mine made such a difference on acceleration as well with the K&N air filter..... just have to wait for exhaust 2.5-3" here we come....

Re: hard pipe kit
I doubt it. If I had this link 6 month ago I would not pay $600+HST to fabricate stainless steel ones locally. However I am not sure what you mean by 'something'. Good luck!roadie wrote:For that price I can get something made local

Re: hard pipe kit
It all depends on who you know, through my construction connections I usually expect to pay about 50% less for metal work than the average joe walking off the street. If you set up a business account with most company's you'll get about 30% off and if you become friends with the people there you will get even more.

Re: hard pipe kit
FWIW, I'd look into reversing the direction of the airflow thru the intercooler. On an L400 I think it would make the number of bends and twists that the pipes have to take much fewer and less severe.
As far as I know (which ain't far!
) the intercooler shouldn't care what direction the air is moving thru it.
