New Carbon Fiber UICP

Looks pretty neat, don't know if I could justify spending $450 for it though. Also I would be worried about the long term durability, although Agency Power has a 'lifetime' warranty on all there stuff.

It's 3" and made by Agency Power and evidently you can get it in wet or dry carbon and either with standard black C/F, Red Woven C/F or Blue Woven C/F.

What say you?

Looks great. At 3", I'd say the diameter is slight overkill.

450 is about in par with lots of the jdm uicp's, people don't mind dropping stupid amounts of money on those... And carbon fiber is more expensive than a pipe with a brand name on it...

Looks like a snake is slithering in the engine bay. Nice, but I prefer the titanium ones for that much $$

Other than bling, is there any benefit to having this over an aluminum? Does CF heat soak less. I know this is the hot-side of the intercooler, but every bit helps.

Not my bag of peanuts. I would rather save some money and put that towards some fresh HPS brakes to have on hand.

I worry about the "flex" of this pipe. The engine does move afterall.

not to mention the heat there, and most of the CF part which has a clear coat has the returning problem with fading and getting yelloish. Its not like the titanium turning all kind of colors because of the heat.

Come on Robevo, yellowing is a "feature" . That's what Seibon would tell you.
