On another note, piping and intake manifolds should be made out of carbon fiber

Obviously some materials work better in certain locations. I'm just trying to help out with the original question posted as to what to go with for an intercooler. I don't recall seeing in the original post as to find somting with carbon fiber piping or go with a light gauge steel. Me personally, I can't justify spending $500 more for a horespower gain of maybe 5-10. Sounds like the guy looking for the intercooler to use dosn't want to spend a fortune on his setup to run some descent numbers. If you plan on running your car into the 9's then by all means make your intercooler pipes with carbon fiber to match your bling bling manifold.
