Help Please

Trying to finish installing a turbo on my 02 lancer and need a couple of the IC pipes redone does anyone know anyone in the Federal Way/Tacoma/Kent area that can do some custom fab? Looking to get these asap as car is down till can do it. I might be able to make the existing pipes i have work if can find someone to bead them. Thanks guys/gals!

i know an exhaust shop out in yelm that can bend pipes for only $15 buck, but then again any exhaust shop should be able to do it for you i i just dont know how much it would cost shouldnt be that much

That was my thought. Was going to wait till this weekend since i have a couple of couplers showing up to see if i can perhaps just cut the pipe to what i need. Problem is still beading unless exhaust shops do that as well?

Anybody with a welder should be able to throw a bead on there for you. Probably wont be pretty, but who cares since itll be under a coupler. Your nearest exhaust shop can do the beading.

Are your pipes aluminum or steel? If they are aluminum, I doubt a regular exhaust shop will be able to do them for you, but you might get lucky.

Honestly not 100% sure, im leaning towards steel. Ill try a magnet when I get home granted thats not a 100% positive test.

Thanks, not sure about the pipes I have since they had been fabbed for RRM. I was able to cut them and looks like things might be working out with them and some straight couplers now but well see. I think im going to pick up a set of evo pipes anyways since im really not thrilled with how these are working out despite they were bent for my setup. Meh can only take it one step at a time.

Aaron, I assume you guys can also fab pipes? I got them to work but they are way low so not thrilled. Also need to see about getting the car for tuning to you guys. Got a base tune but getting some crazy false knock at anything above 50% throttle. I am going to try and give you guys a call as well this week to see if can get some pricing ideas for work needed and a timeframe.
