anyone happen to know?
my car is apart and I am going over some options and was wondering if anyone knew the temps usually found in/on the IC pipes?

I assume that the intercooler pipe temperature would change depending on the distance from the engine or turbo, warm or heat-soaked, cold or hot day. Why are you concerned? It would be best to find another, running car and use a infared temperature sensor and take readings in the area you are concerned with. You can find these pocket sized sensors cheap and they come in handy all the time.

I have a meter, have no car to check. Thought maybe someone had checked so I would have a range

The charge air is in the pipes for such little time that I can't imagine the ambient temperatures around the pipe will really have that much of an effect.

Don't over think it. If you've got a good IC with good ducting, and your LIM/UIM isn't incredibly heat-soaked than you'll be fine.

If your LIM/UIM are hot to the touch then it won't really matter what the IC piping is like, as the last place the air passes is hot...

If you are thinking of CF intercooler pipes you just have to use the right resin of course the carbon fiber can take the heat.

You can grab something like McMaster-Carr catalog and start looking at the properties of different epoxies.

this is more along the finishing portion of the project, car was already running just changed intake and some pipes and going for a different look
