PPI intake pipe

I recently received my intake pipe from Wayne (owner of PPI). and let me tell you it looks really nice. Wayne knows his stuff the pipe very smooth and clean looking. welding is clean and everything fits like a glove ( fits with stock ic piping and also works with either stock air box or cone filter). The pipe is very light also compared to the stock pipe and also the bends are minimal compared to stock leading to better flow. He will customize it too your needs also which is cool to have ( I had the vacuum fittings taken off due to not needing them because i run a mbc). I also heard that they had no bad maf readings/idle problems when they tested the pipe so i had to see this for myself because every intake pipe I have seen requires a tuning after to run properly. They were right I put it on and test drove my car today and runs without any problems! I will post more after a tune. although I recommend getting a tune ( you will not see much to any performance gains without one) so why wouldnt you. So if your looking to get an intake pipe or other parts I suggest checking PPI out they will provide you with great quality products . I will put pictures of it on my car soon, did not have time to take them today.


Here is a pic of it on my car, I think it looks great

Yeah Wayne is going to be porting my FP Red Hot side, exhaust manifold, Intake manifold, and TB. The reason why I'm going with PPI is he does the same quality porting work if not better as BR but it's more affordable. So if you are on a budget but you want the power I would go with PPI with your porting needs.

Thanks for the review, the pipe looks good in there! It was good meeting you on Saturday.

As mentioned, I enjoy the custom projects as well or just a simple modification to better suite the customers needs!
