Go to Lowes or a decent Metal Shop and have one made!! All you need is 3" diameter piping made of aluminum and then take a Dremel, cut a bung hole for the air hose.Your set, I am sure a decent metal shop or fabrication place can make one for cheaper then any of these companies charge!

www.frankencar.com has it and it has places on the mid-pipe to install the 3 hoses. It's $70 + $7.50 S/H.

Hole

Well for the hole, you would if you know someone or go to a Meineke with some smaller tubing have them Tig Weld it onto the hole. Probably only cost you $5. The total cost shouyld only be around $15. Plsu you can always paint the midpipe the solor you want to leave it the look of aluminum.

Why didn't you purchase the Berk Midpipe when you got the other parts from Bryan?

Not yet. I'm in the first 1/2 of the application process. Hopefully by the end of June we'll have at least a few CARB EO numbers.
