Is this a complete OE Evo VIII I/C pipe kit?
I could use some help with this simple, yet beyond my grasp question. I have no clue whether this is complete, as I pretty much purchased it just for the I/C itself. Thx
It's complete but you have the IC pipes on the wrong side.......FYI. The one on that right side of the picture that narrows is the stock LIPC. That goes on the passenger side of the car.

Bad yu- yu... the good first, you have the whole complete set however on your pictures the top rubber hose goes on one end of the intercooler and the lower right long elbow(12") hose goes on the Throthle body.
Lets cover something uncovered and that 99.999% of the people don't know. The 03 hard aluminum pipes will not fit the 05'or newer Evo due to the ACD assembly. Read it twice because I know excatly what I am saying, a 03 hard aluminium pipe will not fit on the 05 or newer.
I went through this issue and I am advising you to be aware of this issue. I once put my 05 Evo 8 MR pipes back to stock and the 03 were not fitting.
We were 3 Evo owners trying to figure out and we found that the 05 ACD makes the hard pipes to have a slight different angle, enough to not clear.
My sources:
rraulston(Ray) (Evo owner that have worked in about 20 different Evos on various things
Myself(I am the one that donated my IC pipes.
Evo moto 17(Scott) Evo owner that had my IC pipes by accident
For hours we attemped to install the pipe and will not go. We did that in a full industrial 3.5 ton hydraulic lifter. We realized that the 03 shape was not suitable for the 05.
Ironically, the 05 will fit the 03. My hardpipes were "donated" to my friend that had an 03. Save your time and money guys, listen to me. If someone is lost, I am refering to the long hard pipe on the left of the picture.
