If you have a minute, check out ours at http://www.extremeturbosystems.com

We build ours in 100% stainless steel piping, bead rolled edge, 4 ply silicone and works with the stock air box and blow off valve as well

Fits both MR and GSR

Thanks!

well...to be exact, there are SLIGHT differences in different UICPs. for example, agency power's reroute the blowout valve to the top instead of from the LICP. Nisei's UICP is a one-piece pipe, while most on the market is a two-piece. ARC's pipe is full bling blingin' titanium (minus the aluminum elbow), etc.

at the end of the day though, it's really all the same. pretty much all the reputable brands have the same bead ends, stainless steel, similar couplers with small variations in quality, and same diameter. it's just a matter of pick your poison.

 

What about aluminium? doesnt it take heat better?

 

Also the Nisei combo (U/Licp & turbo inlet) move the BOV to the driver side by the factory boost controller.

 

our ic pipes offer a new turbo outlet and UICP all in alum, it also relocates the bov to the hot pipe making it more effective and losing some weird non efficient plumbing

we also use a 2.75" cold pipe from the IC to the tbody

Actually aluminum conducts head better than stainless which in the case of piping is probably a negative unless subjected to circulation of cooler air. I prefer stainless myself as polished stainless will maintain it's look longer than polished aluminum and if you have to use T-Bolt clamps you have to be very careful with aluminum piping.

 

I just picked up my new UICP and it cost over $1000 (USD) ...... but it is a future collectors item!

 

I thought I've read some where that there is problems with aluminium IC piping

 

Guys, thanks for all the help. I just placed order with Adam @MAP. got a good deal on the AMS UICP and AMS intake. Thanks again for your help. MAP rocks.

 

The main problem with aluminum intercooler piping is human error. We all have a tendency to tighten clamps as tight as possible and aluminum piping can easily be over torqued and damaged. Once aluminum is creased, it's almost impossible to get a perfect seal. It's hard not to tighten it down too tight in fear of the couplers blowing off from boost. This is the reason we went with stainless steel piping so the user could tighten the clamps as tight as possible without damaging the piping.

Steel is also way more durable and will last a life time.

Thanks!

Michael is right about people crushing pipes with tbolts..

we've seen SS pipes with tbolts and couplers where they were so tight the couplers were torn,

word for the wise, tighter isnt better (let's keep it clean guys)

we use soapy water when we tighten all tbolts and tighten them just over hand tight.

also, Alum was used on any turbocharged race car ive ever driven without durability problems.

to each their own

ETS makes nice pipes, we have nice pipes, AMS has nice pipes, BR has nice pipes lol

they also offer 2 piece pipes at a lower price, most people, like me get the one piece.

 

Beg to differ, HKS makes pretty damn good silicone couplers. Zero problems here. I've actually never heard that complaint about HKS piping kits.

 

its true....
