Why over pay for such a basic part? Just go with the Nisei LICP. Better design IMO, and a lot cheaper. $150 shipped from motiongarage.com

But you only got 712HP if you would have ran AMS you would have easily made 800hp....j/k

I have the HPF lower and upper pipe on my car.. They both fit terrible and was way over priced.. Would not recommend.

I am just glad that I did not have to pay for the UPIC, my friend gave it to me... Had to relocate where the bov is placed since it is way to low on the pipe.

The LICP I bought from HPF didn't fit good at all with my stock fmic. It hung down too low and made the lower appron hang down.

The ETS fmic kit I had on my dsm was great though.

I am quite sure thay have fixed there problems from there early kit. My upper and lower pipe fit great with there intake pipe. There upper pipe at the moment will not work well with a stock intake but we should have that fixed soon also.

Because we are not willing to sacrifice the 2.5" diameter for the full length of the LICP, the early version of our lower piping kits were more difficult to situate properly in the couplers. That has long since been remedied in the second version, and situating the LICP in the couplers now couldn't be easier as Lucas referenced. We 100% guarantee the fitment of and offer a full warranty on ALL of our products to ensure a great customer experience.

I have the earlier LICP and got it to fit flush. It took some patience, force and an 11mm gearwrench to get it in place.
