intercooler piping

on an ex civic can we run the piping on both sides of the intercooler or does it have to be run only on one side like the sf kit

Yes you can run the intercooler piping through both sides, but your going to lose your AC.

i did it, u just have to come off the turbo and go to the drivers side and come around to the intercooler. between the underbrace and the frame with a lil trimming it'll fit.

it hangs a lil low but its the best option, u dont loose n e thing

Check this out:
I have 2.25 piping on one side of the intercooler and 2.5 on the other, flows better but anyhow....2.25 fits perfectly under the driver-side headlight
I ran mine up through where the reservoir for the wiper fluild used to be, under the headlight, up and over into the turbo....works perfectly and looks sweet....I can post pics later if you like
