It will be fine. I rock the stock outlet just fine.

You don't have to do that pipe mod for the BOV to the LICP. You can use your stock hose; but it will be very tight.

One more option you can do, is go to your local auto shop and bring in your BOV and test fit Radiator hoses and see which one fits. Find one that has a curve that would bend at the battery location.
Bring it home and cut the hose to fit.

That's what i did.

Your RA outlet pipe will be fine with the X UICP. Just tighten it good.

Hey if anyone is going to try this mod out and have any trouble putting any of the piping on try some vaseline. Not too much just a super light coat and it should just slide right in LOL

^even better is to use dish soap. Slicks it up to ease install and then drys sticky

We just did the stock to Evo X IC swap this weekend. Took most of the day with those "invisible" bolts. We bought a 6"x 1-1/2 piece of drain pipe and used Mopar lube to squeeze it on. Worked pretty flawlessly. DEFINITELY notice the difference in response! Thanks for the help!

OP... The link you provided for the beaded drain pipe only has 3" long pipes, not 6". Maybe they updated their site since your thread was created?

Its all the same, really. The piece of pipe we bought was 6" x 1-1/2 and it had threading on the ends, so its grabbing the rubber like it should. It works perfectly as a permanent piece, especially since you're tightening it down. That will save you a lot of time and money. At the same time, I also plastidipped the black vents on the hood. Looks great.

Read through this thread... there are plenty of alternatives. Search.

I'll give you a hint... Home Depot or Lowes in the plumbing department.
