    Default Short route piping vs. long route

    Hey guys,

    Just wondering later on when I get a FMIC if I should use my current UICP I already have, which people say is long route to connect back to the FMIC or should I just get custom made pipes? The reason I ask is because I've heard that the long route affects performance. Did any of you guys buy custom pipes for your FMIC and how much did it cost?

    I have don't have short route.. but will prolly eventually get it.. less places for a boost leak. The piping can be made for pretty cheap.. I am just gonna re-use my pipes, and buy some 45 and 90 deg elbows to complete it.

    Wow this post could go on for a while,

    Shorter piping is ALWAYS better,, faster spool up, better response and less crap everywhere.
    Also Important is size, it does matter, you dont EVER need 3" I/C unless you plan on running over 500hp
    2.25"-2.5" is always fine

    Default distance between two points

    According to Corky Bell of "Maximum Boost..." the shortest within means... straightest route meaning less bends and obstuctions.. is the best if you can do it safely..
