Charge Piping

I currently have Andy's older style charge piping. My question is I'm looking to do away with the MAF and don't want to run 6" of silicone coupler or keep the MAF and continue to run 2 with a million clamps haha. Is there a company that makes a charge pipe that will reach from the TB to the intercooler before I have to build a custom one?

This is about the same thing I'm looking for too

(except I'd really like to have a polished aluminum one.)
I'm still running the MAF, but I will have it mounted low, and come from it to the TB, with my meth and IAC bungs wilded in.

Thanks,Matt

Actually-the pipes on my car are 45 degrees, that's because when I made my intercooler I offset the outlet around 20 degrees.

Here's my 45 versus a 70 degree pipe

If your using Andy's old cooler you'll need a 60 degree inlet-I'm pretty sure Andy sells them in polished aluminum.

I have my reason's for running steel pipes, I like the band clamps real tight!

When Andy sold me my YSi, I told him that I didn't want a short inlet pipe for the same reason. I gave him the measurements and he told me he would make me one. A while later, he sent it to me and told me that he made extras for those that have no MAF, so give him a call and tell him you want one like he built me, Bret.
