Good thread........I am the opposite of most. I like the stock look. I do not want bling. I want HP! Glad I stopped by this thread. I was planning on making my own UICP but **** no gains and people see that bling and think you got 500 whp. I prefer to look slow but be fast. lol

Neither the LICP or UICP need replacement until you hit 50LBS of airflow and even then it might be plenty.

There hasn't been a single dyno showing gains from a LICP or UICP. Also there is no way in hell adding a bigger diameter pipe has helped tip in or response. If the stock pipes aren't restrictive at 5500 rpm and full boost they sure aren't restrictive when the snail is spooling up.

EVO-M is full of a bunch of flipping kids that like bragging rights and a bunch of vendors that love selling them crap they don't need.

There are numberous EVO9s with a simple tune and TBE running mid 11s on stock IC and piping. They would be faster but are gear limited. Unless you are already busting out mid 11s in full street trim then you are wasting money on very expensive pipes that normally add weight and tend to pop off due to the lack of brackets.
