I'm not sure why you'd want this version over a one-piece design like the Nisei. The extra couplings will only cause turbulence and resistance in the pipe.

But, to answer your question, I'm not sure who makes that pipe and if it is built for the stock application. The bends don't look like other LICPs, so it may be for an aftermarket core.

Agreed, don't know which pipe that is... it almost looks homemade. Why get that when you can get a Nisei for 140ish. At www.motiongarage.com

+1 I'm very happy with my Nisei. I would NOT trust that eBay one based solely on the number of clamps you need... if you count the clamp on the IC side, that's SIX clamps that touch this pipe... wayyyyyyyyy too many places to leak or pop off.

Nisei has 2.

I'd get the Nisei and add the Breeze hose clamps to make sure it doesn't pop off. . .one thing people forget in the practicaly end of LICP choice is that WITHOUT that brace, the likelihood of a pop off is higher, since there is a LOT of flex from the forced air being pushed through. . .more hoses and clamps without a support brace=more chance of pop off. . .I've had Nisei LICP with 23-24psi for about 2k miles and no problems. . .
