FMIC set up, lower piping?

So i decided to go with the evo x IC and im planning on buying the Hard pipes from UR. My only question is do i need the lower IC pipe kit? Im buying the upper one no matter what but i have read that there is no point in replacing the lower one.

The lower one isn't as critical as the upper one. You can leave the stock one for now. I would just get a 2.5" to 2" coupler so it fits on the stock lower pipe without leaks.

depending on how much boost you're running, the lower is more important than the upper. a lot of people blindy say the LICP is fine, but after upgrading mine, the difference was 10 times more noticeable than the UICP

but with how cheap piping is, just do both imo

The lower isn't as critical on the RA?

Have you guys that are saying this even seen it? If you have, how can you look at this and say that?

exactly, thanks for digging for the picture bryan

just do both honestly. if you can't afford both for some reason, at least do lower

OEM Evo 10 lower is 99% of aftermarket lowers at a cheap price point.
