No plans, it's not needed. We have 100's of lower pipes on the market and never had a complaint due to no bracket.

I have all the right in the world to have my opinion heard. I owned 5 different ones.

I had the AMS, the Buschur, the ETS, the garage and the Nisei. If I had to do it again it would be the Nisei by a long shot. Why?

1) Price
2) Quality
3) Looks

The Nisei is affordable, it is made of aluminium and they had several colors to choose from at no extra cost. Additiona;y it comes with a mounting bracket which other vendors don't have and last but not least it is light weight and it is made mandrel bent (no weldings at all).

My ETS developed nasty rust internally. The Buschur and AMS were great but I think the NIsei is ultimately the best.

Additionally, I tested already 3 times on 3 different Evos at the track, the full IC pipes yielded 1.5-2mph extra on my traps and about .1-.2sec on my ETs. Look for a vendor called maxym technologies or maximtechnologies.

Best of luck!!

All our piping is now stainless steel, no rust will happen. We have customers who have switched to our lower pipe from the aluminum due to the brackets breaking and causes a boost leak from the vibration and the weakness of the aluminum.

ETS v2 all the way. Never popped off because I can actually tighten the t-bolts until they stop moving

I have AMS, mostly because I bought one of their intercoolers at the same time and figured I'd keep things the same.

I have an ETS LICP already on the car, however it isn't stainless steel (I guess it's an older model?) and we found some rust inside the piping, so I've had to order a V2 LICP

MaPerformance LICP

I know this is slightly old thread, BUT I see MaPerformance now offers a LICP http://www.maperformance.com/map-2.5...-evo-licp.html
Has anyone tried and better yet dyno'd this product? Is ETS LP2 still the best?
