UICP and LICP?

I'm currently putting in catback exhaust, lightweight rotors, new pads and a tune when I'm all installed. I searched UICP and LICP and didn't find much. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm going to change the IC in the future. Any product suggestions would be helpful. Are they both worth the Moolah?
As always, Thanks Guys and Girls!!

Seems the most popular u/licp are reputable names like AMS, ETS, Buscher, and Nisei. All make nice pieces. Uicp is the hot pipe. Alot of people say changing that is all that's necessary. I myself feel like I'd be half doing it if I only purchased one and not the other. Just my opinion, obviously.

Yes, they're worth the money. AMS, ETS, Buschur Racing, Ultimate Racing to name a few. You can't go wrong with any of those manufacturers.

Does the LICP offer any gains on a stock Intercooler?

I don't have a LICP, but I've read posts that it doesn't really add any power, but it's supposed to give better throttle response

if you are on a budget, just go with the UICP....the LICP is not a restriction until you go big turbo

AMS, ETS, Nisei all make nice UICP

I personally have the Nisei 1 piece UICP and stock LICP....works great and is easy to install, even with the front bumper still on
