First off the UICP is not worth much power if any... The only way you come out on top is if you get an ETS short route UICP that cuts off quite a few inch in lengh. Also the ETS kit is steel so it wont wear out on you or brend from the t-bolt clamps like the cheaper kits.

You honestly get what you pay for in this area. The LICP will give you the most hp. I would look into getting an ETS v2 LICP and save up for the ETC UICP.

That is my 2cents. Take it for what it is worth.

Sounds like to me, you are going to get what you want anyway... Why ask for peoples opinion if you don't listen to us. ETS Short Route is the best, hands down!!! Get what you want.

id say if 400 is all you got to work with man, id say get a credit card, buy your etc licp and short route uicp, and the rest of the money spend on a relocation kit and put the battery in the trunk. That way no mini battery hiccups that those things can have, and youll relocate weight to the rear, black carbon was right the only improvements on the uicps are short route ones, im runnin an ets, and compared to stock vs some other stock route uicps it shaves off about 2' of piping which leads to increase spool up time etc....so theres my recommendation

The main reason for replacing the upper intercooler pipe is to remove the factory rubber hoses. These hoses have a tendency to blow off once they become oil soaked and weathered. The upgraded upper pipe w/ silicone couplers and t-bolt clamps is a great way to make sure this doesn't happen. It also helps with throttle response since the factory hose balloons under pressure.

We have a ton of piping options to choose from.

Stock Battery, Mini Battery, Magnus, Titanium... etc.

Thanks!

I have had ETS (upper and lower) for about 4 years now and highly recommend going with them.

Get an intercooler hose kit from Samco, Forge, etc., add t-bolt clamps and 400 hp should be no problem. I'm assuming you already have an aftermarket licp or you wouldn't be in that range hp.

OP listen to Michael. Get the best IC piping and never have to worry about getting anything again. If you are going to do it, do it right so you don't end up spending more money in the long run.

I forgot to mention the lower pipe is a great way to gain some horsepower and throttle response if you haven't already upgraded this.

If you have a minute take a look at our lower pipe page.

This shows the gain vs stock.

Thanks!

yea listen to the guy with 5 posts...haha, cheap only gets you so far, and besides man if your not aware most lower intercooler pipes including mine are a 2 piece unit, which means usually the coupler in between the pipe off the outlet, and the pipe to ic, usually tears or breaks from rapid movement from air etc, the ets is a one piece unit which means less money n headaches on torn couplers. cant wait till mine comes in, goin wide tank and v2 licp.
