I found a pipe kit for a prelude and used that. Worked fine. It's all aluminum too.

Your other option is to get a universal pipe kit and make it work for you. You may need to make some cuts to get it to fit properly.

Otherwise you can get some thick, high pressure hose and use that. It won't look very flashy under the hood, but it will do the job. Either way, you'll be turbocharged in no time.

If your willing to pay the over extended price you can find premade kits already out there, other like mbo said, go with the universal kit, you will need to cut a few and if you want it in there snug you will want a pipe with a U so you dont have to remove your windshield wiper dispenser

theres a lot of places that have premade piping, but unless you get it on ebay you probably wont find it for less then 300+ and the general engine bay is about the same but you need to look at where the inducer is going to be pointing before you decide how to setup the piping, as for down pipes its about the same situation, but you should be able to use the same downpipe from the drag kit, mbo linked this to me a while back http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/pric...aust/Downpipes

you'll need a downpipe. The exhaust will be shooting out the side of the turbo so you'll need a pipe to route it back into the exhaust system. If you have headers, you'll be taking them off and ebaying them or mounting them in your garage, since you won't be able to use them on your car anymore.

You're probably going to run into a situation where you will need to cut something somewhere, but try to get as many parts that will directly bolt up as possible. Those pre-made downpipes may bolt up pretty close, but I would be ready for some minor modding just in case.

wow so hard to find a downpipe premade for honda accord 01 ... im about to just give up and take everything to the shop and let them set it up for me ... but then again im so poor i wonder how much the labor will cost .... i dont think ill b able to do it myself i don't want to blow up my engine since i heard alot of bad things about noobs shouldnt be doing it yourself well anyone have any idea how much the labor will cost or does anyone know a site with a premade downpipe and intercooler piping for an accord 01 .. let me know thats like the last step to complete my kit if i could get those then i might as well do it myself and have one of my friend that worked in a shop before to help me out a little ...

o yea and the manifold is kind of weird the top 2 bolt holes which connects the turbo on the very end of it could be going thru ... if anyone understands what i just said and the bottom 2 holes has an end to it
