The piping does come with beads.

Essentially within the last year Forge has gotten into couplers. The reason I had to get the Forge couplers because they are similar to the Samco style couplers which can be trimmed for a better fit unlike the turbonetics style which are typically very specific on length. The SSAC does not come with any of the right couplers
at all. In the picture you can see that I retained the use of the black stock couplers and added a 45 and a 90 degree hose to make up the necessarily length that they cut out with discontinuing the hard 90 & 45 that used to come with the kit.
Even though I had to do a little foot work to get the SSAC intercooler to match up right, I think all in all it is still very well worth in considering how much money you save buying the alternatives.
