    DUH FMIC issue, need some advice.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I recently purchased a used DUH kit and the kit was for a true RS4. Everything bolst up except for the upper piping to the TBB is about 3-4 inches short due to the RS4 throttle body being bigger and also the TBB being longer and aluminum. So now DUH has stopped responding to me since they are no longer in business and I'm basically stuck with an FMIC that doesn't work. The seller said it was for an S4 but nope it won't fit and his car was a true RS4.


    What are my options??

    I thought may be the JHM piping would fit but no idea if the cores are similar?

    APR Bi-Pipes and just hacking the original piping?

    Does anybody know where I can get some piping for DUH FMIC?

    Anybody have 2 Upper FMIC piping laying around LOL?

    What the hell can I do.

    Just get a short piece of pipe and a coupler, no big deal.

    I looked at the longest coupler I could find and its still too short. I thought about another pipe and coupler but its pretty damn ghetto, any sugestions on a type of pipe and should I just go to Home Depot?

    JHM uses a significantly different core. I suggest going to an exhaust shop. You can have them replicate the pipe but longer for under $100, or they could just weld on an extension for around $50.
