I need to know what you folks think is the best upper I/C pipe out there based on performance and price. I'm not trying to spend $600 on an entire pipe kit. I was thinking either Buschur Racing or XS Engineering. I also considered the Perrin Boost Tube, but I think I would prefer a metal pipe. Anyways give me some opinions... Thanks.

 

If you were to go with the mini battery setup or move the battery to the trunk the Buschur UICP I think is the best one out.

 

what bout that upper intercooler pipe from injen that comes with their cai? that any good?

 

Buschur makes one now that fits with the stock battery. I think it is $200 on their website.

 

I have tried the Dejon and Injen, the Buschur is the BEST imo hands down.

 

I have the RMR pipings, looks and fits good. Highly recommended.

 

I got some GReddy Upper IC pipe kit. $185 shipped!!! , fits w/ stock battery

 

Just get the Helix upper and lower, its about 350-360.

 

Don't forget the AMS one...I believe it's around 450 but I could be wrong. Comes with a Tial BOV as well for the price

 

If the performance/price ratio is important to you, then you are looking at the wrong mod. There is very little to be gained from an aftermarket upper IC pipe. If you do it, do it for the aesthetics, not because you expect a tangible performance improvement.

 

if you don't have an intake... go with the Injen set and kill two birds with one stone... no guess work matching up an ic kit that'll work fine with the intake... beautiful piece (esp. in black), and some good butt dyno power increase.. also, you'll get the wonderful sounds of the turbo spooling up louder as well as the bov (dv)... injen has some nice dyno sheets to back it up too... and it's not $600 either...

 

Buschur.

 

i say the injen... i like it .. had a dejon one but the injen is better..looks good too

 

Since you said performance, I'd spend that money on LOWER IC pipes instead.

Anyways, I'd go with Helix or Buschur.

 

I agree. Upper for 'show', lower for 'go'.
