Question Which intercooler kits minimize piping?

Are there any options out there, in addition to Buschur, that minimize the amount of bends and length of piping compared to the stock setup? I dont want to spend more than $1500 for the intercooler and upper/lower piping. Ive been looking very seriously at the injen setup, but id like to get some opinions from you guys before i make a purchase this large.

$1300 for buschur's upper i/c piping and fmic with lower piping.
that price includes the smaller/lighter mini battery kit as well.


i have all of this and i'm very happy with all their stuff.

Alot of people seem to be extremely happy with bushur's stuff, but I keep hearing people talk about fitment problems and being that I'm not all that mechanically inclined I'd prefer everything to fit perfectly. The buschur intercooler setup does seem to be one of the best out there as far as the piping route though.

Also, Ive been told that the buschur unit sits quite a bit lower causing you to have to mess around with the plastic undertray.

Im not knocking buschur's products at all. I'd just like some opinions on other comparable products that I can consider before making such a large purchase.

Are there any other setups out there that move the upper piping over a bit, requiring a smaller battery? I would kinda like to get the piping a little further away from the motor.

The greddy kit seems to a pretty decently priced alternative. You can get the whole kit with upper piping for about $900. And you don't need to get a small battery kit or modify the undertray.

i still have to look at that because i haven't replaced the undertray yet. i'll have to
see what needs to be trimmed.


good luck on your search

Are saying that nothing had to be done or you just haven't done it yet? Did you have any fitment problems at all?

We have greatly reduced the IC piping length and bends. We also use a 750hp FMIC. We have great pricing on a unit that fits perfect. Let me know if there are any questions.
