i have a question about the ISR mod. i have been reading up in the tech section and it says that i can get the stuff at a hyrdaulic supplystore. do you guys think ace hardware would suffice?. also, besides pipe from a muffler place, what else could i use?

 

Molded Fiberglass!! Here's the sneak peek of my dads handywork......

 

I found almost everything at lowes that would work. everything except the main tube. Rapid quoted me $10 for a pipe bent how I want it.

 

do you think i could find somewhere some pretty heavy duty rubber tubing that would be able to be bent, yet still be strong enough?

 

It would be hard to find that big (3" ID)

 

[do you think i could find somewhere some pretty heavy duty rubber tubing that would be able to be bent, yet still be strong enough?]

YES I'm sure you can. I used to have a honda delsol and people online would find ways to fab up a "cold air" (long intake that goes down near the front fairing) intake with some tubing from motorhome supply stores.

More easy than that, stock under the hood, and made of rubber:
When I had a 91 honda accord it had a big 3in. rubber tube that went from the air filter/silencer boxes to the throttle body.
Instead of buying a FIPK intake tube I just bought a K&N intake filter ($40) and stuck it on the end of the stock rubber tube.
I mention this b/c I too have been thinking about the prospects of performing the isr mod.
I guess I'm lazy but Im going to go check a salvage yard and see if I can find something like it.
