Hi guys looking on ebay an i came across this Evo X Upper & Lower Intercooler Pipes, the question i need to to know are they any good? Because the listing says SAME AS HKS.

Its a replica of the HKS, should be OK for the price, after all its just one function and that is to transfer spooled air...

 

Wonder if its mandrel bend? Or that only plays a roll in exhausts?

 

A pipe is a pipe but I wouldn't risk to buy those at least buy better couplers.

 

cheers guys the ebay member just replied the size is 60mm OD. 1.5mm thickness so around 57mm ID. is that size ok or not?

 

as long as it doesn't rust you should be ok, I would get better couplers for sure.

 

Looks decent enough. A pipe really is a pipe, the couplers are the only thing that might be much different.

 

What do you mean the couplers may be different?

 

My car is the same as a Bugatti Veyron...

 

These are pieces where fitment is crucial to a proper running motor. Poor fitment will mean boostleaks and/or popping off pipes. I wouldnt risk it. A nisie uicp is only $195 shipped. Really no reason to go any cheaper than that.

 

the wort thing about it is, this probably IS the HKS stuff, just without the name and without the price. Good find though. Id buy it...... but ive had to many piping setups on my car already.. LOL

 

Buy it and get some quality couplers

 

if you can hang a lil longer i know CMS performance is getting ready to release there product line really soon they are waiting on dynoing there results and then there site will be officialy up

sweet prices. i may get this instead of the ETS

 

there are certain features I would look for before purchasing.
Bead rolled ends, T-bolt clamps and whether its aluminum or stainless steel.
IMHO steel is better as you can really tighten the clamps without risk of deforming the ends like an aluminum pipe.
