You could. Just buy some elbows and straight couplers and fab away.

So, I was able to get the driver's side I think completely figured out as far as routing. Based on the pics below, would you guys think the spacing between the pipes and the connections where I have to use a silicone coupler will suck closed, or should I be OK?

Also, how thick of a silicone coupler would you guys recommend? It seems to me like if I get a 5-ply or more, it would keep it from sucking closed, but I don't have any experience with it.




Then, I can go up from here about 2 ft.


Also, where do most of you guys get some strong silicone couplers?

Yeah, that's part of the siliconeintakes.com site I was looking at. Didn't know if there were thicker ones, although they said theirs are 9-ply with 3 reinforced layers in addition to the 6 main layers.

Hey Pat, did you ever try Nitrile elbows? I am reading that they resist closing down under vacuum. I am just not sure how they work under boost.
