Upper and lower intercooler pipes
wow so much bad information in here its sad. There is nothing majority wrong with the injen pipping system. Now i will say the licp does matter as it aids in spool so the ets version 2 licp showed some gains in spool but i have a custom lower ams because of the fp turbo race pipe but thats another story. The injen lower ic pipe fits fine with no bends that does allow you to put the undertray back on and if you cant thats installer error hands down.
so what if your car made over 580whp, im sure there were other factors than the intercooler pipe that made the power such as your 2.4 and the fp black.
it was not error in installation, it was every single one of them. you can see the licp hanging underneath the car and with it like that anything could swipe it out. this was on stock intercoolers, ets intercoolers, and ams intercoolers. i dont think every single person could be dumb enough to not know how to place a pipe onto their car.

wow nothing sticking out form underneath wow and at that time i had no undertray either. Again if its sticking out below the bumper its installer error
your pictures prove nothing, your not eye level looking and you also are not showing a side shot boss
edit: still doesnt show any angle of where you would see it

I am running the Muse licp from sold at Modern Automotive Performance, I would would highly recommend it. It is the cheapest and is only one peice unlike most of the other kits that are several peices welded together.
I'd throw a recommendation in there for the Muse pipes as well. The lower pipe is a one piece stainless steel design & the upper is available in both short route & long route piping.
Gonna be about $150 less than comparable setups with the same performance
I'd stay away from the Injen or Fujita kits, the pipes in both kits have an obnoxious amount of unnecessary bends that WILL flow poorly. PM me if you're interested in a good deal on a set of Muse pipes.

The intake is fine as well i have heard companies complain about the angle of the pipe but guess what no issues making power with it i have seen evos with 700+ whp using the system to perfection. The injen intake will give you gains and get the job done.
Anybody that thinks the upper intercooler pipe does anything is wrong. ITs does nothing for you just aesthetics. Get real sick of hearing people say the injen upper pipe and intake make no power and short route is better that is far form the truth. Im making plenty of power with them with more on the way. 586whp and more coming easy. Get you a complete tbolt clamp set form silconeintakes.com and your set now as far as the injen silcone hoses that come with the kit there is some truth to that as only one part in upper ic connection needs to be replaced as its to small you can get the proper hose from silconeintake along with your purchase of the tbolt kit the hose is no more more then 20 dollars. You also will need to get another smaller hose for the bov as it will pop out from boost sometimes. This does not happen on everybodies pipping kit but did on mine again another 3 dollars for a studier hose. I have a complete write up with hoses sizes i made for this site but cant find the thead its all listed on my website check this page out
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/312321...lancer/page-15
for the money the injen system cant be beat you can go and spend money on ets muse buschur and the list goes on but dont think they are better by any means upper ic pipe. Intake and licp is another issue but you will be perfectly fine with the complete injen system making good power when your ready all you have to do is replace two hoses wow a whole 25 dollars.
If you want to use another companies pipping system more power to you enjoy the fact that you have several options to choose from just dont follow bad information about a kit that will not hinder your power goals in any way once you replace 2 hoses and does not cost near as much as other brands

imo the injen kit isnt bad, i ran it for a while... the LICP started becoming restrictive about a little over 400whp for me... i think its a good bang for the buck setup, but if you are looking for monster power, save and buy an ETS LICP... the UICP is only for looks...
i have MUSE LICP and i love it, great quality and cheaper then all the others i believe (came with everything including t bolt clamps, ITS JUST A METAL PIPE!hahah companys are crazy to charge that much
I bought the Muse LICP and its a quality piece. One pipe only as stated and not 2 pieces like other LICP. No fitment problem with , it doesn't hang low or prevent me from putting on the under tray. You do have to use the stock coupler that goes to the stock intercooler if you're using a stock intercooler. If you have an aftermarket intercooler then use the coupler that came with the kit. But its a quality piece .
I didn't realize how inexpensive the Muse upper and lower pipes were! I've always thought the piping kits were a tad bit expensive. Not that I don't mind paying for a quality product but I've heard good things about the Muse pipes. As far as the injen piping, I never thought they weren't a good quality product but just not the parts I want. I think it's a good part for people that just want to replace their factory piping buy not spend a ton. Hard pipes are hard pipes ya know. So to each his own.
