LICP: Buschur or Nisei?

Going to order my LICP soon, so which one do you guys think? Buschur or Nisei? Want the one that best fits the stock intercooler, no plans to upgrade it. Read some good things about both, so any input would be great, thanks.

How about AMS? They all fit the stock intercooler.

I WOULD say myevostore.com, but they don't seem to want to give anyone an update on weather or not they have them back in stock

I have AMS on the Evo 9 and Buschur on the Evo 8 and they are very good. While Buschur uses a steel pipe the quality, fittment and price is simply great.

AMS is very good also but perhaps more expensive than the Nisei. Last but not least I think that the Niseis are the best looking of all, also the cheapest.

Either way I recommend any of the 3 plus the HPF one.

Nisei has a steel and aluminum one. They are having a special on their upper and lower icp but it's sorta expensive for just some piping. It's in the gb section and it's the aluminum version. Maybe you could buy the package and just resell the uicp.

Just installed the AMS LICP on my Evo IX this evening. Out-of-the-box, fitment was good but not perfect. I had to tweak the brace a bit to get the pipe to line up nicely. I also bored out the mounting hole on the brace so that I could use the OEM rubber mounting grommet and sleeve. The hose clamps seem like ok quality, but nothing special. They don't appear to be stainless.

Price was good. Got an EvoM special of $200 w/free shipping.

Its a lower intercooler pipe. Their are many vendors that have them, pick one and go with it. Everyone on here has they're favorite vendor and swears by them. Find the one you like the most for a decent price and get. Or go get one custom fabbed like I did. Killer fab job btw. Quality is key.

Thanks guys, think i'm probably going to go w/ the nisei one because of the price. $139, you can't beat that price.
