UICP 1 or 2 piece?

I'm just wondering if it really makes a difference power wise? The 1 piece is a bit more expensive, so does that added expense equate to power?

nevermind... I did manage to find a post on Nisei's site that says the 1 piece will flow better... which is obvious, but I was still wondering how much of a power difference it would actually make.

The amount of power will be very minute.

Niesi will say that because the are in the business to make money. I have their 1 piece and I like it, but I was going for a cleaner look.

Ryan Gates runs a 2-peice in his car, and I doubt switching to a 1-piece would make any difference.

No, I don't think a 2 piece would make a huge difference either... just getting info from other people, and wondering if anyone had any dyno numbers or anything by chance.

I can't imagine that one piece of pipe will make a difference...

Replacing the rubber stock one, big difference, the added cost could also be the fact that it's more piping in general so it would make sense that it's more...

I'd say just get the two piece ones..

like others have said...i doubt you can feel the difference....its more of an appearance thing than anything....i went with the 1 piece for the nice clean look...installation is about the same for the two...even though supposedly the two piece is easier....

I am. Seriously though man...that's a good deal. If you've scoured the web and haven't found it cheaper anywhere else then it's definitely a good deal. I bought mine last year around this time and even with the 15% off it was more, so if you can swing it...buy it. The UR pipes have worked quite well for me and they are reasonably priced. You've got manufacturers out there selling a pipe...a pipe, for $300+.
