I would also recommend ETS, I have been using their upper and lower intercooler pipes as well as their intake for a few years. Made good gains in power, noticeably faster spoolup, and still look good under the hood.

 

Ya i really like ets stuff. Never heard anything bad about it. Just never understand why AMS thinkz their uicp is worth over $100 more than everyone else. Besides the name of course. Than again i dont see a metal tube with some couplers is worth almost $300 in the first place. i geuss u pay for research and the luxury of having it when u really dont need it. Haha. I would get injen if they came with t bolts but I geuss u could just buy em seperatly. Haha.

 

Thanks guys!

 

I have a HKS ssqv all the way to 27psi recirc on an HKS upper and its rocking away with zero issues. Make sure if you get the hks you tighten the body down and check it periodically (after track days for me) to make sure all the nuts are tight.

 

why's that? other than potentially crushing an aluminum pipe with tbolts, I don't see why not to use some light aluminum for an UICP

 

Crush the ix dv and use the rest of the $ wisely.
