The lower i/c pipe doesn't need any brackets on it, not at all. Don't let that be your choice for what you buy.

jmartinez, if you can make a lower i/c pipe that fits, is made of stainless steel, is bead rolled on both ends and come with couplings for $15 then I would like to order 200 of them right now.

Nobody wants a crap on their EVO.

The lower i/c pipe for the EVO stock is a decent part, changing it to some piece of crap, like many I have seen built, is just plain STUPID.

Also, I sure hope my EVO engine internally combusts! If it doesn't I don't think I will be going anywhere.

I think i might end having one made too. The last response I made was before I saw the picture from razorlab. Is that the licp? I thought that's what it looked like, & that it had two brackets.

Interesting...I just put a RalliArt kit on MY '05 and the stock pipe I removed from mine only had the longer of the two brackets. The RalliArt LICP also had a single bracket that resused the grommet from the stocker...Hmmmm.

I appreciate your pointing out something different...

Are you 100% sure? The Mitsu Service Manual even shows two brackets.

We both know it does not cost what you guys sell it for. But i get where your comeing from being a vendor you have to move product. Any one that knows that the pipeing only cost a few buck if you buy it in bulk.

Like i said any fab shop can make theses pipe bends same shape and all and its not crap. Dont bash what you havent seen. I dont go around calling your parts crap. Repsect other people thoughts and views on topics dont go around trash talking or calling anything crap without knowing what the hell your talking about. Remember anybody can do what you do.

I don't think anyone really care if there is one bracket or two.

Here's a LICP and UICP with couplers and clamps for $100

Another one for zip ties

That's pretty funny. I thought I was the only one paranoid enough to MacGyver the thing on . I added these to my AMS LICP. After I read the post by Smogrunner when his blew off and got ran over I wanted to add a little peace of mind.

With enough zip ties the LICP is on there pretty solid.

Yes, quite...I even walked out to the garage to double-check after posting. If I owned a digital camera I would post just to appease you. Even looked in my two volume service manual...same pic you posted.

I guess I have an anomaly.

Based on this, I have no problem recanting my earlier post that the LICP has only one bracket. Next time I will do a sample of data from a broad base to ensure accuracy of resultant information.

All hail Razorlab's superior intellect!! He has beaten me!!
