Do you plan on getting a complete intercooler piping kit? If so, I would recommend our piping for a couple reasons. The lower pipe is the main difference in our piping kit vs the others. The ETS LP2 Lower intercooler pipe is 2.5" from start to finish, that means no reducing bends, which helps with flow and spool up. We also noticed a gain between 12whp and 18whp over the stock intercooler piping and a 7whp difference over piping that reduced down to 2.0" or smaller. It's something to think about! The upper intercooler pipe we allow for a stock battery or short route depending on your preference. We include 4 ply silicone and t-bolt clamps. Here is a picture of our piping vs the stock piping. You can use this to compare vs the other brands as well.

Thanks,

Can I ask why you guys don't retain at least one of the stock support brackets on your piece?

When we were doing all our testing, we found that the t-bolt and silicone hold the pipe with no problems. It's just like the upper pipe, it has no supporting brackets either. We also use stainless steel piping so you can tighten the t-bolt as tight as possible without destroying the intercooler pipe. This is very common with aluminum piping.

If you have any other questions, let me know!

Thanks,

Michael
