no just grab a 2.5" piece of pipe and weld it on. Make a replica of the Greddy pipe.

ditto. Remeber, these are not just pipes and welds. The pipes have actually been designed to flow and be harmonious with the engine.

Exactly, the Greddy uses a 2.5" pipe around the MAF area, then into a full 3" suction. Same deal with the Injen intakes.

Thankyou Travis.. But alot of people on this forum think you can just throw any old parts and a turbo together and make a kit......

I believe ZPI also uses the same sizes piping in their kits.

No, the ZPI seems to be 2.5" all the way through. Still works though.

I have some helpful information for the 07 people who want a Greddy... Wait for them to put the kit out for the 07 or go with another company who has a kit for an 07.. Leave turbo kits to Engineers and Fabricators who do this for a living...

True, not many people do things themselves anymore. How is one supposed to learn?

My bet is the Greddy 07 kit is the same design with different maf flange... Rocket science maybe... what do I know I drive a tC..

We've already given you this answer but here it is again

1) Cheap ebay intake (Currently unavailable)
2) Injen intake - A little expensive
3) Call a company already producing an 07 kit and see if they'll sell you just the intake section of pipe and you can cut out the flange from their piping and weld away

Edit: Because its past midnight my time and I should be sleeping but I woke up Jonesin for my SL fix and now I'm on here but can't spell for ISH
