Is the Injen LICP any good?
I read in a post recently that the injen IC pipes were crap, but have searched the topic & haven't come up with anything as far as a review good or bad. I have the Injen intake & Intercooler pipe kit on my car now & am in the process of doing a hand full of mods (TBE, 272's, ETS IC, etc). I want to know if I should keep the Injen LICP or go with something else like the ETS or AMS pipe. I'll keep the upper since they don't do much anyway. Any help is apreciated since I want to make a decision before I finish modding & get tuned.

mine fit like crap blew of like 20 times once in the middle of the night and had to get my gf to tow me back to her house with a tow strap @ 2am .... sucked ***** replaced it with the Ams lower pipe and never had a problem ...... and yes i had tbolt clamps....and the ams pipe bolts to the car so it is supported by more than the couplers and clamps unlike the injen pipe my 2 cents

I did have to fight it a little to fit it, but it seems to be OK now that it is on. I was just wondering if the others perform better or is the reason I heard someone knocking it because of the fitment issues. By the way RevMoto how do you like the Borla manifold? I was thinking about getting it when I first got my IX, but havent seen them recently & was told it didn't fit the IX well (I dont know why it wouldn't). I ordered a Megan, but if the Borla is good & works well with the IX I might have to try to find one.

i run the injen kit with lower and upper ic pipes. The upper ic pipes fits nicely but the lower ic pipe fits like crap. The lower pipe from the fmic to the inlet pipe has already came undone twice.

I may just go ahead & get the ETS pipe, so I don't have to deal with that in the future. I think it's worth the extra money not to have to worry about it coming off while on the road. Hell its $70+ to get towed if this happens & there are no tools around.

I just worked on a car this weekend with the full injen kit and it fit fine - no issues. I had to take it off to put some t-bolts on it and when I re-installed it I just put the turbo end on first and then attached it to the intercooler, fit fine.
I personally run the PPI pipe and it fit excellent.
Thats it - blame the intercooler for blowing off......it couldn't be the fault of the person who installed it and didn't tighten his clamps down enough?
I guess the next in line to blame is the wrench......
Tighten the clamps down as much as you can - I crank mine down till they wont tighten anymore. (then I test them via a boost leak test) And no you wont bend the pipe using a std. ratchet and your arm muscles unless your the hulkster or chuck norris.
