I want to get custom pipes made up for my intake, turbo to guard, and radiator pipes. As I've got a VVT-i, it's hard to find ready made pipes .. or maybe I haven't looked hard enough. I know exhaust shops should be able to make some up, but I would like some recommendations if anyone knows a place that makes good custom piping for any car models? (Melbourne - any area)

I've inquired at these people:
http://www.advancedjapautoimports.com.au/, but I don't think many people have dealt with them as a search didn't come up with much.

Also, what's the main difference in getting stainless or aluminium pipes?

Cheers.

Aluminium is lighter than stainless steel.

Stainless steel will take abit longer to heat up but longer to cool down, Aluminium heats up quicker but cools down quicker. Thats pretty much the differences that i can think off.

I would go with Alloy pipework.. Not as heavy and yeah, better heat transfer properties than stainless!
