I've searched everywhere for the parts but all I've been able to find is the hose clamps. I've searched all the big hardware stores, home depot, ace, and lowes. I can't find any muffler shops around or any hydrolic shops around. Does anybody have any idea of where to buy these parts?

Colorado people if you know, please chime in. I don't want to have to resort to buying from a website.

 

I went to a muffler shop and had them expand a piece of stainless pipe to fit the "IS'r" gap, and used the old hose clamps.

Or the Airaid MIT. http://www.airaid.com/MIT.asp

 

Ditto for me. Went to my local muffler shop and had them make me the replacement pipe. I used the original hose clamps and bought a plastic tee at the auto parts store. I did not have to buy extra vacuum hose, as I shortened one piece and used it on the "T" going to the intake.

 

Plastic T-fitting?

Humm, All I did was replace the silencer. Maybe cause it's S/C'd, I don't remember what came from where.

I will be putting in the silencer back in soon to test for MPG and maybe some unmetered air getting in.

 

That's the problem though, I can't find a muffler shop. Maybe Im just an idiot, but I can't find anything around. I also can't find a place to buy the 3" I.D. rubber hose and the right size and shape brass fittings.

 

...bump...

I'm Hopeing to get this done this weekend. I've kept searching and asking around and I still haven't found anything...

 

The only problem w/ the airaid system, is they don't cover his '90 or my '91......

 

Some tire places do exhaust work too...I got one in this little town that I found the other day that says Good Year on the sign but I asked one of the guys and he said he does exhaust work too....just call around to different repair shops and ask them if they know of anyone that does custom exhaust work.

 

I'm pretty sure it's the same.

I was going to have the muffler shop bend a piece of pipe for me but I can't find one with a mandrel bender. All I need is a 22.5 degree bend. So I'm going to have it cut and welded into the bend I need. It will be easy to do and cheap once I'm done. I'll update my thread on it later.

I may even think about selling them...

 

There's gotta be a place around there with a Bend-Pak or something, maybe not JUST a muffler shop but a mechanic that has one or something.

Dekri, have you tried an auto parts store ??

I picked up an intake tube from one of them and, with a little modding in the form of shortening it's length and adding a couple of miniture K & N's, managed to pull off the "ISR" mod without much hassle and an approx. $40 investment that equaled a marketable improvement in overall performance and sound quality.

 

Don't know about your area, but up north here's where I'm gonna get my parts:

Muffler shop: 'bout 5mi. east of 120th & Sheridan on the left (if you're headed east)
Advance Autoparts: mine's on 120th & Colorado. Find yours here: http://advanceauto.know-where.com/advance-auto-parts/

Hope this helps. Are you going to the meet n' greet on the 30th at Mosquito Pass?

 

I'm interested in doing the same mod...anyone have pics of this complete on a 3.0 engine?

I made my ISR out of bendable exhaust tubing, like in the link above, and some 3" rubber drain pipe couplers. The exhaust tubing I found at Autozone, and the coupler I found at Home Depot. I would recommend getting the 3" to 2.5" couplers, though. The VAFM and TB are a little bit larger than 2.5", so I used the old intake ends as "gaskets". Tightened the hose clamps down REALLY hard and it doesn't leak. Wishin' I had a digicam to take a pic of it right now.

BTW, I didn't plumb the two vac lines back into the intake. The valve cover vent I just put a UNI filter on (looks like a mini K&N), and the other vac line was already capped at the other end, since it ripped off my PS reservoir anyway.

 

phorensic, please take pics...I was thinkin' about using the bendable exhaust tubing as well.

Thanks!

 

Thanks, thats pretty far for me, but right now I don't care. I just wanna get this mod done.

Yeah, I'm gonna go to the M&G on the 30th. I'm also gonna be at Yotahedgis BBQ next saturday the 23rd.

 

There's a small exaust shop by Ecks Saloon (Kipling and Hampton). Thats the closest I can think of right now.

 

Here's where I got parts for a custom setup I was planning:

Mandrel Bends: http://www.roadraceengineering.com/mandrelbends.htm

Silicone couplers/clamps: http://www.roadraceengineering.com/hoseandclamps.htm

Good bunch of folks there!

 

Here's mine with bendable exhause tubing. Works great!:
