ETS is the way to go, A bit more $ but worth it in the long run.

That's surprising. The UICP gives no power gains, a LICP may give 2-3HP on a stock-ish motor, as does the intake pipe. Combined, you could see a consistent 5-8HP gain. On cars like ours, that's not even equivalent to a shift in RH.

I have been running the kit for a year and a half. No real issues. It fits great. The only fitment issue I had was that I had to slightly modify the position of the upper pipe by angeling it barely lower.

The only thing I have noticed if sitting at idle in a parking lot or garage is a slight fluctuation in RPMs at idle. No affect on driving though.

As with anything a tune will bring the most out of it but is totally not necessary right off the bat.

nothing wrong with injen period. i know people with 700+ using it and just fine. Just the usual injen haters. nothing wrong with the system it will get the job done just like br or ets ams etc.
