+1 on ETS pieces. I have their upper and lower pipes, along with the 3.5" fmic. Fitment was perfect, quality was perfect, and they've help up great through 2 winters already. Plus I think SS is a better material since you can really tighten down the t-bolts

 

There's no reason to crank T-bolts down that tight on a system that's put together properly. If you have to go any tighter than snug with a wrench then there's a problem somewhere.

 

i just went to the Depo website there parts are very cheap any reason why? the uicp is only 100 i think and front mount is only 360.it also says the licp has a 3" oem grade 2mm aluminum whats that mean. Sorry im not good with this stuff yet

 

Thanks for your support! I agree with you 500%, Aluminum is cheaper material and why take a chance! Personally, i'm not looking to get stranded.

I love how someone says no need to tighten them tight, aluminum is better, blah blah. I deal with this daily. I hear stories all the time about aluminum pipes tearing at the welds from vibration and over tightened t-bolt clamps on the regulator.

Trust me it's not that i don't have the ability to bend aluminum and save money on product cost. It's because we want to offer a product that is going to last a lifetime. When we look at selling you a part, we are only looking to sell you that part one time. Not over and over as a wear item.

Thanks!

How do the AGP CAI sound, dose the turbo spool make a nice sound.

 

I love the way mine sounds!!!!

 

AGP - fitment perfect but cast end tanks add a lot of weight to the very front end of the car which isn't ideal.

As far as the aluminium vs stainless argument goes...if you fit these Norma clamps you will never have any problems with either sealing or damage to the piping unlike t-bolt clamps.

I've had both stainless and aluminium piping - the weight saving from aluminium makes it the better choice for a track driven Evo.
