All you need is the lower ic pipe( the one that goes from turbo to intercooler). keep the other one stock because you dont gain really anything from it. I have a ETS lower ic pipe and it is great.

The above answer is about as good as it gets. Any pipe that looks like the ETS lower pipe is what you want. Forget the upper pipe unless yours is damaged, you will see zero gain.

There's really nothing wrong with ETS, they offer a great LICP and nice short route/stock route UICP solutions. Although aluminium is lighter, if you're not careful tightening down on the T-bolt clamps you can damage your intercooler pipe, which is why a SS pipe isn't such a bad idea. I've used ETS and Buschur Racing for intercooler piping, so that's who I'd recommend because their fitment and quality was good.

I really like my ETS pipes. The lower is a great design, and the short route upper with the battery in the trunk of the car really cleans up the engine bay and makes it easier to work on things under the hood.

I run the Muse/VR Speed upper and lower intercooler pipes on my car. Look great and don't cost much. The short route uicp looks amazing

but mind you, the short route upper IC pipe will require a small battery and tie down kit.
