not steppin on any vendors toes, but if steel holds heat in it also holds heat out. as in heat from the engine out the intercooler.
i personally prefer alloy, but its all the same if its 2.5"
and yes i need a licp jus not gettin 1 til i get my turbo choice sorted.

But when you say our piping is small and thats all you need to know...I really wonder what you are thinking. You obviously didn't read our product information. The turbo outlet is 1 7/8" We use a coupler to go from 1 7/8" to 2" then a cone to go from 2" to 2.5" as quickly as we can (but keeping to a minimum bend angle in our cone) to not create any turbulence. Airflow likes a smooth path. The larger bend angles, the more turbulence is created. Thats why we don't use a coupler that goes from 1 7/8" to 2.5" in a mere .5" of space in a coupler....turbulence is created this way.

It is not all the same if its 2.5". Steel IS heavier no? Once steel is heated, it takes longer to cool down NO? I would be really concerned about post intercooler piping materials holding heat in though.cheers

We make the transition with the coupler before the bend because the biggest restriction in the factory LICP is the small diameter tight radius bend right out of the turbocharger outlet pipe. Simply, more air will flow through a large diameter bend than a small diameter bend. The radius required for proper fitment on an EVO is already too tight for the best possible flow, so we avoid amplifying that problem by using full 2.5" diameter piping through the bend.
