what stuff do you guys use and where to you get it? im assuming that most of the intercoolers and pipings on the SS's are custom so what do you guys use? or what could be used?

I used radiator hose for now, but am half way converted over to blue silicone connectors.
BTW I have a WRX turbo and IC, so mine isnt fabricated the same.

I used 2.5" stainless steel piping and silicone hose.

how do people conpensate for the size difference between the compressor outlet and i/c inlet? some fancy work with couplers? or maybe something similar to the coffee mug shape (tapered* tube of some kind).

i just won my i/c from ebay a couple days ago, 41$bid and than some more shipped (~11?)

paid a little much, but i really wanted one

i found a site that carry's silicone couplers of different sizes, but are there any stores you can get them at? (home depot or menards)

would a radiator hose work with a coupler? coupler inside hose out right?

Yes, you can.

Here's a real old pic of my setup before I put the 16G in.

what downpipe is that? off topics sorry.

Silicone is the best to use, stronger too.
I am slowly transferring from radiator hose to blue silicone.

They're CES Racing Systems DP03 DP's. They're SS twin dump's with Hyper Coating.
