[914pipe]

Hi there:

There was a guy running hard pipes of 3/4" ID.... I use to have a link but doesn't work. Does anyone knows if that configuration ever worked...?

Would like to hear from that guy....

I have the opportunity to get 3/4 in ID SS braided hoses....


Thanks..!!!

Pics...?

Desert hybrids uses 3/4 black (1 in od) pipe under the car. seems to work fine in arizona.

I have been running 1in copper/aluminum lines under my car for 40,000 miles and 6 years, no problem.
I don't understand why copper gets the bad rap. Solder melts at 450F, and the better radiators are made from copper because of copper's superior heat transfer.

I could see if you are worried about denting it running something over, but why don't ypu watch where you are going.
if you hit your floor pan on something, you probably will hit your engine bar too.

Not sure which hard line installation you previously saw, but here is a couple of photos of my installation from a
couple years ago. Thick wall aluminum tubing 1" ID; must say it took two guys eight hours with and large
commercial pipe bender to fabricate these up. Seem to work fine with no problems/concern (yet) with bottoming
out. Trust this helps.
