Default Who was building Intercooler hard pipes?

Before I left a while back someone was making Intercooler pipes out of steel or aluminium and powdercoating them? For the life of me I can't remember who it was, or hopefully still is.

P.S. It's nice to be able to read Rennlist again, they had it blocked on me as it is a "bulletin board."

Nobody is making them anymore, aside from the companies like Lindsey and SFR. If someone steps up to the plate, and makes affordable good ones, I'd pickup a set too.

I'll be needing a set in the next few months as well. I haven't priced them yet but if there is a good set being made by a Rennlister, I'd be in.

I know I need some also. If there is interest perhaps I can try and do a group buy with Lindsey....

Joe, boostguy951, was making them but between the hurricanes and damage, he has been way to busy to even think about it. I got one of his early sets, sort of test mule, for our track car and we were very pleased with the pipes.

With Joe selling his stuff off and getting out of the 951 game I doubt he will be making any pipes. badcoupe made his own and recently said he could make af few sets but I think time is also an issue for him.
I have been keeping my eyes peeled for a used set or some to appear on my doorstep. Hasn't quite worked out the way I had planned.

Did they quote you a price for powder coating?

What exactly is the "swedge" option on LR's hard pipes?
