Unfourtunatley not. The Veilside has one, but its molded to the body, in which there are no pipes

you should make some i HIGHLY recamend you do that space is so empty without them umm take some parts trees and a lighter or a lit candle and heat them and bend how you want them to go into the intercooler umm heres some pics of the pipes i made for my tamiya HKS skyline (sorry if im hijacking your thread) :lol2:

Great choices of R32. The stock and the Veilside one. Very cool. i Like the way the colors of the engine are!

dont use a candle or some crap like that. get a black light bulb, and use that to bend the plastic, those things get mad hot!

thanks guys. Now, I had some aluminum piping to scale of the intercooler pipe, so I started it, I havent bent it yet because I cant find my pipe bender, but here it is so far, I also added a wire from the front of the engine to the side. There is a close up if you look. Thanks!
