that is not shipped but the diameter of the pipe is 2.5" tapering to 2" where it meets the factory compressor outlet pipe.

bought mine from AMS a couple of weeks ago and love it. any time you engage the clutch it feels much smoother. better response and quicker spool makes this a great upgrade.

I tend to think that both Buschur and AMS are good, honest vendors, but someone's wrong here. Does anyone have some dyno evidence of gains from the lower IC pipe?
FWIW, it seems that the discrepancy between Buschur's views and AMS's views on the value of a larger LIC pipe has vanished, as Buschur has posted that he's going to be releasing a LIC pipe too now.

Buschur actually retracted his previous statements - in a recent post he said that he is working on a Lower IC Pipe upgrade because the deluxe IC kit was consistently making more power than the standard kit, and the only difference was the lower pipe so he said "there has to be power there" or something like that.

IMHO I feel like it definitely helped exactly what AMS says ... 7-10hp to the crank.
