I can not get the link to work but they are $99 and all it is for is the hard piping. It does not include the silicone cuplings and clamps. I'm just wondering if anyone has any feedback on these and I did search and could not find anything.

They did, but probably didn't live to tell about it.

Just kidding. But even if your in a tight budget, saving a couple hundred dollars isn't worth ruining a 30k car.

How exactly will the intercooler hardpiping ruin the car? Will it it crack into little pieces forcing the metal bits to get sucked in the engine?

Yeah, I don't really see what could go wrong besides it not fitting right.

Everyone knows that EBAY parts aren't the best in most instances, but what does that really mean? There has been 1 supra run 9's on EBAY parts. People are starting to realize that pipe is pipe, a 3" exhaust is a 3" exhaust all IMO though.

^^^ Yeah, I agree, I have an Ebay TBE and 02 housing and they are working great. I only paid 300 shipped for them. I think I will buy the IC piping of ebay, the only other thing I will need is couplers. I'll probably go with samco couplers.

Is that ALL the piping? It looks like it's missing some... Anyway, ssautochrome stuff seems to work fine, plenty of people run their exhausts and FMIC's. I would say go for it, someone has to be the first to try it.

Let us know how it goes; subscribed.

the biggest problem with e-bay piping I've seen is that most of them are made with very thin gauge piping and the ends lose their shape very fast; also they look better in pictures . I do know of some that have had luck with piping , but I guess its a hit or miss deal .

Just don't use that BOV in the picture. Those are truly junk.

Hey i have a ? about the ssautochrome 4'' fmic, i know some people talked about the one that looks like the AMS fmic but i wish someone who has a lot of money would buy this one and the buschur race fmic and do a test and see if it is worth spending the extra money and getting br's. Check this one out its 24x12x4 with 3" inlet and out.

^^^ Yeah, I will check it out one day. I am not going to upgrade the FMIC until I upgrade my turbo.
