there's _some_ quality difference, but honestly pipe is pipe

I plan to upgrade to AMS FMIC down the line, and I don't like mixing brands for the same system, so I got the AMS UICP - I'm just picky though

They pipes are the same size and lengths just a longer coupler for the upic and I think a shorter for the licp.

Watch when installing the licp. I ripped a wire outta of the trans and it did not like it to much.

I installed the OEM Evo X FMIC and all pipes this weekend and didn't have to take the bumber off. I did it at a friend's garage and he has a LOT of tools so it was no biggie.

Doable, but not worth the extra effort, imo. I've gotten to the point where I can have the bumper off the car in less than 10 mins if I'm in a hurry, I'm sure there are others here the same way too.

Wow chi-town! It took me about 10 minutes to take the top and bottom plastic covers off! Anyway, when I upgrade to a better intercooler no way I'm taking the bumper off, I'll be done in about 15 minutes total.
