Is it worth installing Injen LICP?

I think it's the same size as the stock LICP. I installed the UICP and intake but not the LICP yet. Need some inputs. Thanks

some applications in licp and uicp actually have shorter paths than the stock. and new couplers under all that pressure would do you some good to.

Thanks. I just hate removing all those snap screws things. There's like hundreds of them. I thought the Audi A4 has a lot until I remove mine to do the upgrade...Thanks again!

I heard that most LICP are about 1 foot shorter than the stock setup. That has to be better. It's well worth the time taken for instalation.

It'll give you the biggest gain for sure. Faster spoolup, like 10whp and less boost dropoff. The upper does almost nothing, Buschur got like 3WHP, the lower is where it is at.

What do you mean the UICP is just a cop magnet? Cop don't ask to see what's under the hood do they? Unlike them Honda/Acura tuners.

He is in CA, cops are looking for mods so they car rape with their fix-it tix. Lot different then Wisconsin where all you have to do is say you know Brett Favre and they let you go.

I suppose. And it's a easy fix-it anyway. Just reinstall the UICP and leave the LICP

i dont believe so but your gunna want a tune since you installed your aftermarket intake cause the maf is gunna be over crowded with too much air so you'll def. want to get it tuned...its not a necessity but your not gaining any power with intake as of now...just a lil fyi man
