buschur does. they have 2--one that fits with stock battery, one that requires a mini battery kit. i know their mini battery kit doesn't work with stock airbox, but the pipes themselves may.

 

I already have a mini battery setup, was just wondering if would fit stock intercooler.

 

oh definitely then

 

bump!!

 

does the buschur 3 inch upper ic clear the oem battery and everything else? whats the price for an upper and lower ic kit? David will the upper have the welds as your new lower ic?

 

I believe the upper is 2.5"

 

opps i meant 2.5

 

no the "deluxe" one will not. they have a "standard one" that should, but it's very tight (from the looks of pics). i don't know if the standard one will work with stock air box though.

 

I hate to throw a wrench in David's plans to offer this component, because it's a really nice piece, and a lot of development went into the design, but I have a gripe about it:

What about terminating the outlet of the Buschur pipe in the same location as the OEM pipe (without the upturn to meet the intercooler inlet), and use a 45 degree hose to connect to the stock intercooler and to allow for fitment with other aftermarket front mounts that do not include lower pipes but include their own coupler to attach to the OEM pipes?

See picture below:

 

Because he did not copy the stock pipe, it doesn't have the 180 at the end of his pipe like the others. It fit's differently then stock, if you cut it off there you won't get there with a 45 degree coupler. I will have pictures real soon and you'll see how it actually fits on the car.

 

But my idea would be to terminate the pipe in the stock location to allow fitment with the stock or other aftermarket front mounts.

I can see the idea behind re-routing the piping and losing all that unnecessary length, but this component can't even be used with Buschur's standard intercooler upgrade. If the pipe terminated in the stock location, it would.

It is a really nice design, and something I have been waiting on and planned on ordering, but I just don't see the justification for making it if it can't allow for the most variations of fitment.

Furthermore, I won't be able to use it now, so I'm a little bummed!

 

Jimmy @ Fighters Garage in Florida... good pipe... best price!

 

Guess Jimmy at FG has revised his licp due to customer feedback. Pipe looks good.
