Okay so I am nearing completion and starting to focus on the intercooler. Now I am running an aftermarket intercooler with outlets on both sides... Reason is in the future I plan to do a 2J or FFIM on my 7m.

Now I am running the stock intake and running the pipe most likely down the passenger side under the frame and 180 to the intercooler.

Question, what would be better, a 180 silicone coupler or a 180 pipe with couplers on both ends? If anybody has some pictures for referance on their set ups that would be great also.

Here are the 2 that I am planing on but not sure which to use

Silicone

Aluminium piping ( I would trim where necessary)
