Muse LICP from VR Speee Factory

I was in the market for a lower intercooler pipe for my Evo 9. I wanted a one piece that was 2.5" with no tapering for a reasonable price. After some searching, I found the Muse piece sold by Tiago from VRSF(excellent guy btw). For $140shipped, you can't go wrong with this piece at all. Shipment was very fast and I received licp within 2-3 days and was very excited to get it on the car.

So, on my next day off, I installed this thing. Right away I noticed a much quicker response from the turbo. Full boost a couple hundred RPMs earlier than before(3500ish stock turbo with big 3.75" FMIC). I don't know if I picked up power as I don't have access to a dyno but it sure feels quicker, maybe because I'm in boost faster. Either way I'm very satisfied and glad I chose the MUSE licp from VR Speed Factory. Few pictures of it below.

Flawless. Fits like a glove on my car. Doesn't rub against anything

I have the same LICP and I couldn't put back the acces door for oil cooler. I don't care about it maybe I didn't massage it good enough.
Ps. I'm sorry my post was about LICP from muse.

I didn't have any issues with fitment. The licp is flexible enough as there are no mounting brackets, so you can maneuver it for best fitment.

Ive had the short route kit in black for a few years now with no problems whatsoever. It fit well and plan to upgrade the intercooler soon so I will be pulling them off to clean them and will upgrade the couplers right at the intercooler.
