Upper I/C piping

I dont want to run the small battery kit on my car. Can anyone suggest an upper
pipe thats good for the stock battery set up or am I just screwed on my wishes?
I already have a used Burschur core and lower piping.

THX for your input

Check out the space you have to work with after the small battery conversion. It's outstanding. Id recommend it for the mod you want to do as well as making space for yourself for future projects.

don't bother replacing the stock pipe just replace the couplers

you won't see any gains with a pipe in the same orientation

stock couplers expand under boost though so those should definitely be swapped out

Obviously he doesn't want a small battery for a particular reason or else he wouldn't of made the post. The bad thing about small battery kits is if you let them drain out once you might as well just throw them out.

Check out the Injen pipe, ETS or GReddy like someone mentioned if you want to change the stock piping.

I'd go for ETS if I kept the stock battery.

Just put the battery in your trunk. It's not hard to do and is good for distributing weight. And you have a great amount of room in the front end to put whatever piping you want

Nice install!
ThX for the tip on ETS I love the looks of the gloss black pipe!
Greddy's not showing or much of nothing on their part on the site

+1 or move the battery to the trunk if you still want a full size. couplers are a great mod though

ETS with stock or use the ETS or Nisei short route & use the honda battery (Group 51). For honda battery, you will need to fab a battery tray for that (I have seen several EVOs doing that and it looks great!). Good Luck!
