I think that someone had some new HKS stuff for the X on here, and it was $$$$. I guess if you really want the "real JDM" coolness and want to pay for it then go for it. I can find other things to spend my money on.

It could be that the one piece intercooler pipes may have a flow advantage as oppoosed to the two piece, I still wonder about engine rock but time will tell.

+1

They look nice but it all comes down to specs/performance. Not that HKS have would have less gains than others.

is this a good buy? I can certainly get this pipping kit for $700 CAD or is there anything out there that has a package of $700 Shipped to my door that has a better deal?

ex: IC, IC UP n down pipes, Intake system w/filter...for $700?

Everything look pretty good but, I got to say I don't like how they have the BOV mounted. Another thing, do you have to buy a SSQ BOV in order to run their intake? It doesn't seem too friendly to adapt with the stock BOV. If so isn't the SSQ BOV like $240 ish?

I don't know I'm kind of got mixed impressions about the kit.

That kit does not look like it is for the X. Look at the other kits available and then look at the pipes shown above, they are very different. Also now BOV take off pipe.

I don't like the 90 degree bend b/w the BOV and the CAI, but it does look hot.
