Stereo install kits?

Any recomendations on dash kits? I've looked at the metra 99-8900 but it looks like its a 1.5 face, which I don't really care for. Thinking I may try the 1/2" DIN Pocket (88-00-9700) http://www.circuitcity.com/IMAGE/product/detail/met/EC.MET.88009700.JPG I looked at bestbuy, circuitcity and cru...

yeah, I get that but when were talking about 8' of pipe it seems like it might help.

I was thinking about pipe dia last night, I think 2.25 would be fine as the IC would be the most restrictive anyway.....still thinking.

Re: tubing, aluminum and thick vs thin wall

I'm thinking the thick vs thin aluminum will act as a heat sink, cooling the air as it passes to the IC. It won't, they both have the same surface area. Not only that but the air spends a negligible amount of time in a pipe, especially under boost. mmk, the "surface area" makes perfect se...

tubing, aluminum and thick vs thin wall

I found some relatively thick walled aluminum tube which looks like the right sz for my IC.

I'm thinking the thick vs thin aluminum will act as a heat sink, cooling the air as it passes to the IC.

WRX 2.25" pipe and legacy 2.25-2.50"

I just took my axle back off and laid it on the ground to compare to my "new" stock WRX so I could check for hanger locations and fitment.

The WRX pipe is smaller! WTF?
