PPI LICP installed (pics)

I just finished installing PPI LICP on my 2005 evo 8. Fisrt thanks to PPI for a great product and great price. This pipe is comple in aluminum very very ligth, compare to the stock is like half the weigt. As for rating this pipe fitment, don't get me wrong this thin fits very good but nothing fits like the stock pipe. The construction is great, the bends are great, the transaction from 1.5 to 2.5 is the best, and fitment is good. As for performance, I notice the car pulls a bit harder now and I fell the turbo coming on faster. I will rate this pipe as a 9 from a scale of 10. Why not 10, mainly because is a bit tricki to fit, but overall I would recomend this pipe to anyone. Here are so pics, enjoy!

You should upgrade the factory rubber couplers and use T bolt clamps. The OEM worm drive clamps are one time use pieces. They never stay tight after they have been undone. Nice install and pics though!

You never clean rubber parts with brake cleaner unless you want to dry them out. Degreaser is what you were probably referring to I hope.
