The IC pipe diameter will be 2.5" size. ETA will be 3-4 weeks. all IC pipe kits will include neccessary hoses, clamps, IC pipes, and mounting brackets.

Thanks

Hey!

The first production run's upper IC pipe will only have the tube for recirculation type DV as factory setup or EVO MR BOV. The aftermarket bov setup/flanges will be released at a later date.

Thanks

Besides the stock BOV flange, will these be stock in nature? I want to make sure these are something that will increase horsepower. Were these designed to shorten the path and smooth flow? Finally, what finishes are these coming in? Anodized? Polished? Powdercoated?

Thanks

To try and answer your questions. I don't think any IC pipe increase hp, but help turbo spool and pressure loss. They will be in a polished finish I believe. I'm not 100% on this just trying to help out.

For those who purchase intercoolers that come with lower intercooler piping already, this would be only worth a fraction of the cost of full plumbing..Any plans on creating just the upper intercooler piping?

I was thinking the same thing. I wanted to go with the Greddy IC which comes with lower pipes any suggestions.
