Ok so trying not to sound like a cheap *** here but what's the best bang for my buck on a full hardpipe kit for circa $400. I have a stock battery btw

 

Quick reminder, you get what you pay for. Sometimes the stock piping is better than cheap aftermarket pieces. Take your pick: http://www.maperformance.com/evo-vii...cooler-piping/

I personally run ETS piping, love the fit and quality.

 

the reason I want it is because I'm starting to wear a hole in the rubber elbow near the radiator fan. Any thoughts on injen? They have a full kit for under 4. Is it legit?

 

why not to buy an ebay licp (they're virtually all the same) and keep stock uicp?
buy another elbow from dealership and call it a day. you get best battery/filter fitment as a bonus.

 

Cause this things a handful of small parts and a tune away from bein a 400hp dd and I don't want to shred another elbow or blow it up usin ebay piping lol, she's already got enough problems lmao

 

Plus stock uic doesn't look very clean either

 

Replacing the uicp yields no gains, but i just did it for the hell of it. You can save yourself some money and not do it, if rubbing is an issue, adjust your uicp.
Heres my setup:
Fitment is spot on, no more stock coupler rubbing on radiator fan.

 

So only the lic piping yeilds gains if changed?

 

injen works, but i dont like that kit because the piping tappers.

 

God I hate bein a broke ***** haha

 

What about weapon r? No bueno?

 

In most cases yes, unless you replace your uicp with a short route kit, which would at least improve throttle response. Bottom line is, you want to have less coupler and more solid piping. I dont like how the factory uicp couplers expand under boost.

 

Well havin that hole in the elbow is causing boost leak like its cool so either way it needs to get fixed soon

 

Your setup looks clean as hell btw

 

You need a small battery kit for the weapon r piping
