Hey guys,

Which one do you recommend! AMS or ETS U&DICP!!!!!

I wanna upgrade to a mini battry too so which one you recommend too!

Thanks

 

Can't go wrong with any of the above... but my personal recommendation would be ETS.

 

FYI its LICP not DICP so yea lower intercooler pipe and upper i would select ams just because they have one of the best fabricators around..

 

I HIGHLY recommend the ETS pipes. I am just starting on them and the finish and quality are amazing. If pipes were gloves, OJ would have been found guilty. That's how EASY they are on fitment...

Cheers-
E

 

Yeh LICP . I dont mean to show who is the best! I wanna Experiments replies!

for me I would go for ETS since their pipes not so big so i avoid "Pressure drop" and their pipes has no much bends!

AMS has smooth fabricated pipes but I see them big in the pics! i dunno how in real! plus theirs has much bends that the other!

I dunno still not decided!

 

my vote is for ets, but when it comes to most performance the licp is where you will see the most results as the stock is the most restrictive, other than that its really up to you as far as an uicp

 

do you guys have the link to ETS?

So what?

 

I have the ets short route set up

and I love itttttttttttttt

 

Forget a mini battery, they are dumb, Just get ETS UICP and call it a day. They make two a short route and a long route that will allow you to keep your stock battery.

The UICP really doesn't give you a HP increase. They do but its like 3-5 hp maybe, I heard even less. They help on bigger turbo cars but not a stock turbo car. I'm not saying they won't help because evyer bit helps but that pipe is not the most important upgrade. The LICP is.

I would have gotten ETS pipes had I not got AMS's but ETS wasn't really out yet. AMS uses a silicone coupler and if there is a weak spot that is where it is going to be. ETS uses all one pipe and then 1 Silicone connector to go from the pipe to the turbo itself. AMS uses 2 on their LICP. Just my .02

 

Why is a mini battery dumb? It was a pretty decent weight reduction for about $60.

 

What a weight reduction of 10lbs, whoopi dee do. it doens't help in traps does it? NO I didn't think so.

Now looking at where you live you won't have to worry about CCP or cold cranking power, that is how batteries are rated I believe. So when it is cold out will the battery have enough power to turn the motor over. Small batterys can do the job but if it was cold for long periods of time like her in CO in NY then I wouldn't get one. You can always move your battery to the back like me and put more weight in the back since that is what you are worried about and even out some of the weight.

 

Or just take off your wing for free.

 

I really don't believe either make a difference on the stock turbo. The hot air coming out of the turbo doesn't need or want a bigger piping. The factory LICP is the same size as the turbo outlet pipe so theres no flow problem there.

The only thing changing those pipes did for me was increase the chances of blowing a coupler off. Personally I would recommend the SAMCO hose kit before changing either of those pipes.
I've tried them and gone back to stock with no loss of transition, spool, or performance of any kind.
