There are two versions of the Nisei IC pipe. There is one that can be purchased seperately and is not aluminum (Steel I believe) and the aluminum version which comes as the kit with the upper pipe.

I have the kit and I know that the pipes are 2.5 for sure. The only thing to keep in mind though, is that the turbo outlet is not 2.5 it has a reducing coupler to make it fit.....

Yeah I'm just looking for the cheapest 2.5inch LICP- NOT the ones that taper.

I can't find any facts that say the CHEAPER Niesi LICP is 2.5 inch, so I might just go with the ETS- LICP. Its 40 more dollars, but its for sure 2.5inch, and thats what I want. unless someone else can think of one?

If you don't want one that tapers, good luck. They all have to taper due to the turbo outlet pipe only being like 1.5 or so. You can replace the turbo outlet pipe too, however most LICP's do not come with it.

I like the Nisei because it fit perfectly and has the mounting bracket like stock to keep it in place in case you ever blow the coupler....... Never used the ETS though.

Good luck finding a good pipe...

Neither of the Nisei lower IC pipes actually taper, the coupler that connects it to the Turbo outlet tapers!

Tell me, how do you mate a 2.5 inch pipe to a 1.5 inch turbo outlet? With a reducing coupler! At some point or another the assembly is going to taper down since the outlet on the turbo is not 2.5 inches......

Try read my sig... I have one. I'm not about to go pull it off my car to measure just for you. If you don't want to believe people that own the pipe and tell you that it's 2.5 inches then don't fucking ask.

FWIW, I measured both ends prior to installing.
