Intercooler Piping

Thinking about getting some IC Piping...

Has anyone tested the HKS Intercooler Pipe Set Evo X

I also like the AMS Upper pipe

Don't care about stock look and what not, interested in gains.

Any ideas

I have the AMS Upper pipe and love it... The quality is amazing and it looks awesome in person than it does on photos... It produced an additional 5 awhp peak and 10+ awhp gains in the midrange. As for the HKS it's way to pricey for my taste.

I have ETS pipes and they are great, awesome fitment and the best customer service I have ever experienced. That said, you can't go wrong with AMS either.

someone should do a dyno shootout with all the UICP's
Im sure they all are close since its just a piece of pipe but it would be nice to see the differences if any

I would probably go with the ETS piping. If I did not already have some that is what I would get for my personal car to go along with my big ETS intercooler

You have lots of options...

It all comes down to: Price (material) / brand loyalty / how many sections you want in your UICP.

Vendors on EvoM are pretty up front and will definitely take care of you.
