i had the ebay ic, was getting a retune on ams's dyno and midway thru the tune, pull after pull..it would heat soak so bad it lost about 10whp(each pull)...this was also in about 50degrees in april. I now have the ets ic and for 450 its a nice piece.

imo...if i were u id just save a lil bit more and get the ets one or a diff ic thats used.

What did I say piping is piping. There is NO dyno gain from piping! get the piping and or just the couples from the seller.

I personally would rather go with products that have been tested and proven like AMS,Bushur and ETS.You can never be sure about ebay copies.Plus the ebay copies just rip off the manufacturer who busted their butts to make a great product.

I am by no means upholding Ebay parts, although i have the AMS copy IC and it make 16 pulls back to back without ever shutting the car off in 100 degree heat with no heat soak.

As far as the cheap parts comment you make sure, you have for sale a custom Exhaust in your sig. Now if thats not cheap then i dont know what is. Im a broke college student and i have custom 3 inch exhaust that is honestly straighter than any vendor system ive seen. Saving money on the same product FTW!

dude i dont know wut your talking about my custom exhuast in my sig thats for sale...thats never been used that is all mandrel bent with a vibrant muffler so your custom exhuast is prolly sumthing you made in your garage while this was made by a profesional...all i was saying that this particular intercoolers is not worth...your not gonna see the 40whp your suppose to see..look above the intercooler couldnt even make it through some dyno pulls...IMO save a lil more money and go ams, buschur, or ets...it well be worth it in the long run
