intercooler pipes

[MAXLLY]

you could also make friends with the local muffler guy and he can get you all the parts from the local warehouse.

I would expect $50-75 for something simple, just increasing ID. Anything over 4" ID gets $$$ quick.

Good luck, it's fun (IMO) fabbing that stuff.

wanna be included here for the link to tubing!

For 04.5 and on vehicles, I supply 3" tube and coupling kits. Hot side only.

If this post is objectionable, just report it. Not trying to compete.

Banks will sell the 3" tubes seperately in case anyone didn't already know.

X2 got my hot side pipe for 89.00 + shipping . hard to justify building your own for that price . ( at least for myself )

 

[Killerbee]

That is true, for LLY only IIRC.

I do know the Banks LB7 intercoolers come with new pipes , so I would say they have them for lb7 and lly . and probably the same parts

I just got a driver's side CAC from Banks (ATP) where did you get a boot to fit?
I'm thinking I need to go from turbo(2"?) up to 3" on pipe................I just painted mine black, took the old one out and realized it wouldn't fit because of the boot................damnit!

 

[sweetdiesel]

You can buy the banks kit with the clamps and boots for about $150 retail - the pipe itself for $89. Although Banks doesn't advertise it this way, the driver's side pipe will fit LB7, LLY, LBZ, and most likely LMM. It is the same powder coated pipe that killerbee was marketing with a HUGE mark-up as his own "ceramic coated" pipe.

no I"m not sure it's 2", just guessing. What would i measure? the OD?

I like that website.......pretty simple. Thanks.
Now just to find out what size I need.

I would measure the ID or both for that matter...Im pretty sure you would want the ID as certain brands of silcone hose range from 3 ply to 5ply and that doesnt change the ID


If Banks charges a extra 60 bucks for the 2 hoses and clamps I think that is a little steep IMO But convience is always nice.


If i was to geuss i would say 2-1/2 to 3" is what you need

 

[05lly2500hd]

I was actually talking about measuring the OD of compressor outlet...but yeah it would make more sense to measure the boot on there now...
I've already ordered and recieved the tube, so don't know how to go about getting the boot and clamp, which I only need the top side, not the bottom. Guy I bought it from is on vacation. I'm anxious and would like to be able to find something local, just have no idea where to start.
Thanks.

Easy hoss, you don't know the whole story. Banks is who said they were ceramic, not me. I realize that it is still my problem, but there is a difference between lying, (what you are implying), and being lied to.

My markup was an industry standard. I assembled a complete kit for a reasonable price. People don't feed there families without making money somehow.

Banks markets them now (they didn't before I made them popular) for a price that is slightly less than what they charged me when I purchased in quantity. I am very upset about how they treated me, and I learned a lesson from it...but you should know, there is a lot more to this story that nobody is aware of. So I am just asking you to believe me....and I am not going to bash any company or entity for its corp decisions, just know there is more than one victim here.

I will be finding a new manufacture (that's all Banks is to me) for spec'd boost tubes, 3" and 3.5", with npt bungs for measuring COT, or for nitrous/WMI. They will be clearcoated stainless steel with no ceramic anything. I may try aluminum also.
