Lower IC piping worth it?
I have the car apart already and I need to get it retuned as well. So basically my question is, is the 200 or so dollars worth the power gain and quicker spool?

One of the best bang-for-buck mod besides a really good tune. Make sure you get one that tapers only for the coupler and not midway at the actual pipe.

Thanks for the replys!

Do you know which companies don't taper in the middle?

I was looking at an AGP one

Nisei is nice and has a support bracket so it doesn't hang down

Nisei would be one of the best purchases. It is a one piece mandrel bent colored aluminium.

Thanks man. I'm going to check in to all of those for sure.

If you had to pick one, what would you say is the best one?

Anyone have dynographs for comparison?

I picked up a second-hand Buschur licp, and the licp is indeed one of the best bang-for your buck mod.

Taken from the modding $100 at a time thread it says the ETS shows the best results but I am unsure where the thread is backing this claim. I am sure people have done the testing but I can't find it.

Check out ETS. They make high quality products and customer service is top notch. I have the ETS LICP along with their UICP, 3.5'' FMIC, and intake and I couldn't be happier.

ETS definately, I had an Injen LICP that came with the car, swapped out for an ETS, and never looked back personally.
