ETS Raises The Bar One Step Higher!! - 100% Stainless Intercooler Piping!!

As many of you know we always try to raise the bar higher! In an effort to offer the highest quality product possible we are now only offering stainless steel piping in the following options.

Brushed Stainless Steel (Default Price)



Polished Stainless Steel (Additional Cost)



This will also allow us to keep our piping on the shelf for faster delivery times since we can customize the pipes without having to re-coat them. We will no longer be offering the powder coat option.

The switch from mild steel(powder coated) to stainless steel does change the price, but not by much! The price increase is around 10% on piping kits. Intercoolers will stay the same low price!

Example: LP2 Lower Intercooler Pipe - $174.00 (OLD) to $191.40 (NEW)

Thanks Everyone!

Michael

You should go another step and do Aluminum piping...

Roger, I will send you a quote when I get to work tomorrow =) If you want to do the gold anodizing, I will make you a special deal, since we need a volunteer!

I like the stainless steel over the aluminum. I always hear the horror stories about how the aluminum pipe rubbed through and now they have a horrible boost leak or they tightened down the t-bolt clamps too tight and crushed the pipe now they can't get a proper seal. None of this happens with steel pipes. The aluminum does have a weight advantage, but for the average driver this little bit of weight difference doesn't come into play.

Thanks!

Michael

Hey thanks! Cant wait to hear the good news!

Also yes I had aluminum piping on my previous project car which was a fully built turboed and nitrous saturn and the aluminim piping rubbed through twice against my electromotive tec3r standalone ecu which was mounted near the battery. Since then I have always done something stronger at least mild steel. Its a good thing there are saturn enthusiasts that are metal fabricators and I got a nice custom made stainless pipe kit from a saturn owner who owns his own business now and is a vendor on turbosaturns.net. Since then no more rubbing boost leaks of any kind! Steel ftw!!!!!!!

The cons are it is a little heavier than aluminum but hell its only like maybe a 10# difference if that. You lose that in just the mini battery kit alone. So it works out perfectly.

Lose the aluminim and go steel! I have steel piping for the supra too!
