I just got mine last week. I do not have the miny battery kit yet so I just installed the lower pipes. I do however have a problem with one of the lower pipes. It comes with a third pipe which is really small that connects straight to the turbo. I TOTALLY cannot reach one of the screws under there so I just hand tightened it. Now the car whistles whenever I hit 0.5 bar. I obviously have not been pushing my car to be safe.

If anyone knows what I am talking about, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

This is odd as the FQ's I have seen have the stock battery with the HKS.

I have to question if this mod is anything more than cosmetic given that many people are making power w/o changing the pipes.

The Unorthodox pipe kit fits with stock battery and stock location, and it comes red to match the valve cover too. Samco hoses and T bolt clamps cant beat that combo.

Pictures on the car?

Made of what material?

Is it welded from bends or was it bent from one tube?
