Evo x how to make your own hot pipe (uicp)

Well I was looking around for a uicp and noticed some of these out there were kinda pricey for me personally. I mean if u can afford them then more power to u lol well I made this picture kinda showing u what u need using paint. Yes I still use paint haha. Its all pretty self explanatory. I spent 13 Dollars on it since I already had the pipe in my garage from a universal pipe kit I had laying around. Oh and I wrinkle painted mine.



Here it is installed

Nice!! I'm in the market for a uicp and not one that some company made for pennies on the dollar and selling it for $200-300. Did you bend the pipes yourself or could you buy these from lowes or homedepot

It says in the OP that it was a leftover pipe from a universal kit he had.

Hi All, just as a note, the outlet that is bolted to the compressor housing is actually 1.75 inches, not 2 inches as described. So the bend you will need to buy is a 1.75-2.5 inch 45 degree bend. I found mine on ebay for abot $26....

^ You can find that pipe on ebay. It's pretty generic one.
