A fair warning: I'd check to make sure he's still making them.
Tried making contact with Dejon last year and never received a response on lead time and build.

I sent an email to the 'sales' contact to find out if these are still available. If he isn't making them anymore, maybe we can get the shop drawings and get them manufacture else where.

Yeah not a huge fan of that either. Wonder why Alta has cooked up something for this yet?

Partly because the OEM hard-pipe on the cold side fits extremely well in the engine bay, and it cross-section isn't a limiting factor for flow.
Plus, I would NOT want to put in a ribbed-tubing section for air flow...

Mr. Dave Johnson,

I'm just email to see if the various intake and intercooler pipes listed on your dejonpowerhouse.com site are still available for order? Have a great Memorial weekend.

I also asked to find out exactly what kind of hose is used to connect the two pieces of the cold side pipe.

OK! Just ordered the pass side, cold side unit in blue, I"m going to look for a blue Samco replacement straight piece to replace the black one that is supplied with the pipes

Remember plenty of pics!
I am going to wait until I get the FMIC upgrade and just do everything then. I'm going to have to figure out how to add a tap for the Aquamist nozzle on the lower pipe.
