whats he doing??

 

I haven't seen it yet but I know it is all 2.5" up to the turbo outlet pipe.
I imagine he will post a pic if he has them in stock now.

 

The new batch is all TIG welded. Pics will be up soon.

 

TIG weld? If so you got a buyer :-p

No offfense but that Fighter pipe is horrible. Welds or ugly, using a weld for a bead roll on the end is also a poor way of keeping a pipe on and sealed. Sorry.

Our pipes will be done today. I got our prototye in Friday and we will have pics and pricing up probably today.

Our lower pipe is made of light stainless steel. Using aluminum for i/c plumbing is not the best way to go in material choice.

could you elaborate why stainless is superior for i/c piping? I had always thought aluminum was the better choice, for it's heat dissipation and lightweight properties.

 

From what I have gathered in testing and such over the years......I prefer polished stainless steel in the engine bay. We use a light stainless steel that while it is heavier than the aluminum it isn't much heavier. Polished stainless holds its polish while aluminum will not. The polished finish also helps to reflect the engine bay heat AND helps to keep the cooler charge air temp that is in the pipe cool. The other reason I do not like aluminum for i/c plumbing is as soon as you start using t-bolt clamps and getting them good and tight the aluminium distorts and "shrinks", this will eventually hurt clamp seal.

This is why we use SS wherever we can.

The fighter garage piece if fugly. The weld are rough and it it prone to getting scrapes and rust spots.

Ams makes a nice pipe but it costs twice as much.

I have not seems the buschur pipe so I can not comment on it.


I went with the fighters pipe because it gets the job done! And I have to say was a great price. I know of a shop that wanted to dupe the fighters design with a bead roll and some nice welds on light stainless and they were going to be right up there with AMS when it was all said and done....

I can buy a fighter's garage pipe and hit it with some paint (if needed) every few months and save 1/2 the money. The choice is yours.

 

You can't see the pipe (unless you stick your head underneath the car and remove the lower tray before hand). So, looks don't mean squat it's the results that matter

Ironic that Dave is talking about looks in regards to his parts (no offense) but the fit/finish is not the best

C'mon...
I mean C'mon.... (From Mad TV skit character - some will get it)...

 

im ready to see buschurs lower...im ready to replace that peice of crap helix turbo adapter on my car.

 

are you going to sell the lower pipes with a new turbo outlet pipe, like the one that comes with ur deluxe intercooler???

 

+1 on LP1 (logic performance) full intercooler piping is high quality, pm them and ask to just buy their lower piece if thats all u want, but with full intercooler piping u notice a real nice throttle response over stock

 

I can't answer for David but I think this is intended as astock turbo to stock IC LICP. If you get an IC then you would get the pipe you are asking about plus the deluxe lower pipe.

 

Turn the lights out and you can't see the ugly chick either, doesn't mean you should sleep with her. What if your friends found out.

I love their "half the price of other" comment. Hmm.. I wonder if that is because it looks like a high school auto shop class LICP.
