Best upper intercooler pipe?

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a uicp maybe during the holliday if compagnies give a santa claus discount! I want to know if you guys got some recommandations and if it worth it if I get a dyno tune!

I was looking for an AMS or an ETS uicp but if you got some other suggestions please let me know!

Also if you know a great saler that can get me a good price I would also like to know it.

Thanks! and sorry if my english as some mistakes, it's not my first language

All of the UICP's are really one in the same. To be quite honest you won't see a big difference between one brand to another. It really comes down to preference on brand, and of course price. I'd honestly say just go with whatever one you can get the best deal on. Also, just for UICP a tune isn't needed.

I went with Nisei - they're relatively inexpensive, good fitment and they have a 1-pc all the way from the turbo down to the intercooler.

Speedcircuit also makes one, hks is overpriced unless you want the bling (although fitment was awesome), take your pick lol. They all will do the same thing for ya.

I was just worried a little because AMS change the thing that connect to the intercooler because it was leaking boost.. So I was scared to buy an inexpensive uicp an get boost leak

I went with Nisei because it was a decently priced 1 piece pipe.

Nisei or Cobb since they're 1-piece of bent aluminum tubing, no welds or couplers, and they fit perfectly.

I helped a local install an Agency Power and it fit like crap.

It just didn't fit very well, seemed like I was constantly fighting it and the brackets didn't come close to lining up without some serious muscle.
