Muse Intercooler pipe review!

If you have the muse licp and uicp, tell me how it performance and weather you like it or not! I'm planing to pick up the muse ic pipes, I have read couple of threads but not so clearly stated on what I want to know.

How is the muse ic pipe compare to other brand like ets, ams, ect..

Is it buck for the buck?


What's the down side of these pipes?

Any increase in hp?

Thanks

I personally prefer the ETS LICP v2 and their short route UICP. I have a large magnus v5 on my car and I still spool up at 3.7k! I think a lot of that had to do with the LICP v2 and the short route UICP from ETS. They are both as short as possible and well designed to make the most hp. Also they are stainless steel so they don't deform under clamp load and are as sturdy as it gets. +1 for ETS

I run the Muse uicp and with my hta 35r and 30+ psi never had any problems and I compared them to my friends Ets and could not tell a difference besides the bov location. I don't use there Licp I have a ETS V2 there.

muse looks like short route so you'll be fine. Don't forget the t-clamps and bing 8% cashback if buying from ebay.

Ill probably go with licp ets v2 and uicp, ill go with muse. Since the uicp is just for look.

Exactly what I did but there is few gains from going short route.

I don't see too much of a difference between the ETS v2 & Muse except for price. The muse is a 1 pc no weld design as well and it's polished which is an additional cost with the ets:

Doesn't look like they are on ebay anymore but i know vr-speed.com still sells em. There's also a bunch of reviews in this thread.

Jim is right the only diffrence is Name. MUSE makes great products Im currently running the MUSE Short Route UICP & AGP LICP the best bang for buck if your on a budget. Also I just bought GCS s2 cam's from VR-Speed.com , If i told you how much i paid it would put the original price to shame lol again if your on a budget they discount almost everything & anything you need.... Ask for Tiago

I muse LICP and UICP and I've zero issues. There really is not magical IC piping. The only thing you need to consider is size. You can compare the Muse to other choices. At its price point its one of the cheapest decent quality kits.
