I still think the price of IC pipes in general are silly expensive.
Vendors would sell alot more product if they didn't try to rape customers.....and its not the price of R&D because these pipes are nearly identical to stock less the diameter change.

Hey Dude dont mean to be the negative person of the bunch but, ill have to disagree with you with some of what you say. Yes LICP is sold a little more than what it could sell for, but there is alot of things that go into that part. The shop has to pay the employees, lease, water, etc, etc. Everybody wants it for nothing and your just not going to get something for nothing.
What I do disagree with you is the R&D. The reason the others out there are able to make the same item is because they get one that works great and copy so they dont have to do R&D. If R&D is not that all important and you think you can do better then why dont you make your own parts and see how much it will cost you to do it. Support ebay but they dont give anything to our community
. AMS, BUSCHUR, and many others do 
.you got to think of the labor, material and many other contrbuting factors that are put into parts when they are made. if it was so easy to make these parts why did they wait to use AMS' design. Almost every Ic piping is different in some way. So happens Ebay version is a copy of a company thats doing the community good.
Take your evo trade it on a honda. if cost of parts are to high for you. you should have thought about all that before you baught the car.
Have a nice day.

I agree AMS Buschur all have proven dyno results and make the best quality out there . And as far as price my evo only gets top notch parts if i cant afford a part i wait and save more money not go and build me ride from e-bay and Kragen auto parts

Just to clear some things up.
AMS does sell Logic Performance A LICP. I Am not sure if they have made their own of if they are retagging ours. I will have to look into it.
As for the cost of our pipe. Keep in mind polished aluminum is expensive, so is the welding of the pipe and the 4 ply silicone couplers. Once you take into account labor, material and R&D it all adds up. We are not out to "gouge" anyone. Most shops that develop products in this community dont make a killing on our parts. There simply isnt alot to make in this industry.

Thought I would bump this up for all those folks interested in a good deal on a LICP.
I see ebay has four auctions up for these bad boys again.
Search for:
03-05 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 8 Intercooler Piping Kit
These now appear to be made of aluminum as well.
