The pipe goes from turbo to ic to throttle body... it doesnt go ic to turbo....
And it would take a shit ton of fab work to make it 1 piece there are like 2 bends at odd angles..
from the turbo it goes down then bends to the left then back to the right into the intercooler... you wouldnt be able to fab 1 piece then put on it would have to be welded together as its on...

I thought it went from intercooler silicone pipe to a pancake pipe into the turbo?

The intercooler does not move and your engine does. Really you would only be getting rid of one 90 degree couping and the one rubber hose that goes from the pancake to the IC. You should have these rubber hoses there for some flex between the intercooler and the hardpipes/turbo.
So no, there is no benefit.

I have a buddy who also did custom piping. He chose aluminum, I think. He had some issues with fitment, but he got it sorted out. I do know it took him a while.

Would be nice for single aluminum pipe connecting the turbo and IC but as others mentioned....fabrication city. You'd definitely need to upgrade your engine mounts and dogbone insert as well.
hmmm...maybe you can get a good muffler shop to do the mandrel bends? :character0293:

Yeah. Nothing short of Mandrel bends and some tig welding. I was wondering if I could send in my pancake pipe with it attached to my silicone ic hose and they mock it up that way but then they wouldn't have it 100% positioned the way it'd need to be.
I don't understand half of any of that stuff. Lol I was just seeing if anyone else had done anything like it

Not really when you use silicone connectors, it should be all the flex you need unless your mounts are shot

I would imagine that you'd still have a coupler at each end. The stock pancake doesn't flex so I don't see why the pipe that replaces it would have to. And the stock ic hoses are so small the couplers at each end would probably be same length.
I just was thinking it'd help reduce leaking spots. And hoping maybe better flow since the material would be continuously the same size & material. The pancake pipe to aftermarket ic hoses isn't the greatest connection anyways. Using the stock clamp still lets it move.
I was just starting this thread to see if anyone had done it before. And how they went about doing it. It'd be a lot easier/better to install just one pipe on that side instead of paying for a front mount that comes with a silicone hose then have to buy another pipe to replace the pancake pipe.
