ok guys im having issues with my ets upper intercooler piping. its just not lining up right for me i have to force the pipes into the couplers and the r under so much tension as soo. As boost kicks in the blow right out. And finally when i rig them a certain way where it holds boost and there arent any leaks its entirely in the way of my aem intake. Is the ets piping only compatable with the ets intake? Im losing my mind trying to get this piping right iy shouldnt be thos difficult. My transfer case gave me less of a hard time than these pipes. Ill snap some pics so u guys can see what im taking about

you just have to turn them in the correct direction.. but they fit, unless you have the wrong ones, if you need help i could look for pics of mine

Im sure they r turned the right way they just dont seem to line up right. I modified my aem intake so that it fits without interfence with the pipes but im still not satisfied with the overall fit of the piping. And im almost certain there might be a small leak still coming from them. Some pictures would be great if u can.

I had the same problem with the ets uicp going the short route.
I took off my wide intercooler and tried the stock one and it fit really well. Needless to say i put back my widey and used a hump connector to connect the 2 pipes and had no problems.

Yup mines is almost the same. I had to fiddle the the pipe coming off the intercooler going up to the intake in order to get the pipe close. Its a really close fit with the intake.

looks like you could rotate that maf downwards more to get it away from the upper pipe, i wish i had pics from my maf intake setup

+1 on the rotating the maf, loose up that clamp and spin your intake counter clock wise.
Also if they keep popping off spray some hairspray on the ends of both lips on the pipes. Will give ya a little more grip lo. No joke.

Thats exactly what i did. I had to trim a mounting bracket on the intake in order to rotate the maf sensor without it contacting anything. The hairspary trick is a good one! I used it before ill have to break it out again if anything

Hmm, just bought the ETS Upper Intercooler Pipe. I don't like having to force connections together.

Its a bit of a pain but its not really a bad install by any means. I just expected it to line up alot more seamlessly than it did. However so far so good. Doesnt seem to be leaking from any of the piping at all. However i am leaking from my injector o ring seals. But thats a whole other story. Lol

i ended up having to put an extra t-bolt clamp on my ETS UICP because it rubbed on the intake bracket and was going to wear through the powedercoat quick if it didn't have protection
