...the RFL seems nice,
You'll be needing a thumb in the eye then, eh?



RFL sucks. Nobody needs to hear a BOV going off 3 times across the parking lot when you're pulling into a space.

All I need is a nice 120deg 3in bend. Surely someone here must know of where I can find one in the US for a reasonable price. I found a supplier in CDA http://www.members.shaw.ca/powertech/pipingbends.html, but would like to avoid doing the cross boarder thing if possible.
Holly ****, canada owned the states on this one. I have never seen or heard of something only being in Canada and not in the states



Go Canada!

Yesterday I purchased a 120degree cast Greddy Bend from Ihor at Gotham Racing so my pipe-bend problems are history.



Next, I need to order a 3" to 2.5" reducer to connect the bend to the turbo. My friend Mike, aka Zoomzoom, has tried a couple different reducers from Samco and ATPturbo. I was planning on ordering the ATP reducer because it is $17.95 vs 33.00 for the Samco piece, but according to Mike the fit is not very precise on the 3" side of the ATP piece. There was some space between the pipe and the ATP coupler that caused it wrinkly/bunch up when it was tightened down. Unfortunately, I then discovered that Samco does not have any 3-2.5" couplers in stock. According to the person I spoke with, they 'should' be getting some in about 3 weeks.
