Default hardpipes for the GS

anyone interested or know where to get these?

I spoke to the guy at hardpipes.com and he said

"If you can supply me with a stock pipe I'll take care
of it. On a group buy I'll cut $20 off each one so
that should be a good deal for you guys. Let me know
if you want me to get that going for you.

Does anyone already make these? He makes these currently for supras. These can be chromed too.

He said he "would need to look at the lower pipe, some lowers cannot be done without welding and such which costs a
fortune. Not to mention they are rarely seen so if the
price gets too high it's not really worth it. The
upper would $65 + shipping on a group buy, standard
price is $85ea. "

Darin, may be a quick Hard Pipe 101 lesson to explain what exactly they are and their functionality. TIA

from his website:
"Manufacturers of polished aluminum radiator pipe kits for various import vehicles for both show and race applications." "All pipes are seamless aluminum mandrel bent with a 1/8" thickness" "Seamless aluminum mandrel bent upper radiator pipe. Comes with all silicon connections as well as stainless clamps. "

YES!!!! We want it... Weve been teased numerous times about these in the past, and they never materialized..... Ive corresponded with the same company in the past and they said they would be available in the "not too distant future".........still waiting though....AWESOME cosmetic mod.....VERY common amongst Supra owners..

these are not (just) turbo pipes. these are radiator pipes. goto the site harpipes.com, it says that's what they are.


"Manufacturers of polished aluminum radiator pipe kits for various import vehicles for both show and race applications."



i'm trying for a price now.

will aluminum pipes raise the temp at all? Does rubber disburse heat faster??
