I have them but they are not powdercoated yet. Attending Drift Atlanta set me back a couple days. PM me if you want to wait until they get powdercoated (early next week) or if you want me to just send it out with high temp paint on it.

Here are the pics...






You can see it doesn't rub on anything and lines right up. It maintains 2 1/4" piping up until the last inch where it has to transition to the stock turbo outlet.

I updated the page and added a how-to.

Can you do a test without all the people in the car and compare? One thing that affects boost is load. More weight = more load, = max boost lower in the RPM range (even though you accelerate slower due to weight). 4 people (besides you) could be 700 - 1K pounds. That's a substantial load increase over just you in the car.

Wrick just called me and said that boost came on much harder and "hits." He said yesterday's numbers were right. I'll let him give his opinion, tho.

numbers were accurate, i thought that more load in the car would change things as well. It's funny how a small pipe can make a difference. Boost comes on stronger, it almost seems like a boost spike but it holds strong at 22psi. Throttle response is improved, I'm guessing due to eliminating that large flex section. On the butt dyno, it is def worth the $145.

The stock hoses expand under pressure effectively creating more area therefore causing the turbo to work harder to hold X amount of boost and thus creating more heat. I.C. pipes will eliminate this issue.

any1 who put this on get to a dyno?? Just curious

That sounds like some BS. I mean really there are plenty of high horepower cars with stock hoses and pipes...think about this before you write it...

Joe, he's right. If you use a rubber hose as your intercooler pipe(common on Mitsus) and I use an actual metal pipe, your long piece of rubber hose will expand under pressure and mine will not. As such, I will see better response than you because my system is working more efficiently since ALL of the boost is being pushed directly into the motor instead of being used to inflate hoses.

Along with installing the Fighters pipe on Wrick's car, we also tested a prototype on a friend's SRT4 and he had the same result. Boost came on harder and HIT as opposed to gradually coming on. Why? Because all of the air shoots directly into the motor instead of inflating the rubber hoses and THEN going into the motor. The turbo is not working as hard to do the same job. Its just plain more efficient.

There are cars making big hp on stock piping, but there are gains to be made if they were to switch to solid versions.

So can I order now? And will it go out the following day?

You can order now if you would like but they are not yet powdercoated.
They will be done early next week and will ship the day after you place your order.

you got pm

I am a senior in Mech. Eng. @ AU, I might know a thing or 2. While temp. difference may be insignificant(depends on how much the stock hoses actually do expand), this effect is no doubt occuring. Most gains will probably come from increased efficiency and better flow though.

Ill be picking mine up next week.

Hows the powdercoating coming along?
