Hey Michael, Are these LICP aluminium or stainless steel??
What about you UICP? do they require mini battery? Im in an area that reaches 50C, what are your comments regarding that?
does it fit on CBRD's intercooler?

The brushed finish would allow for more heat to escape. Really, the heat dissipation on the piping will be minor compared to the heat transfer from the intercooler.

The piping is stainless steel, the hot temps are not a problem for the piping or coatings. Our piping kit will work with the CBRD intercooler, but.. you will need to use the hoses provided by CBRD or the stock hoses from your intercooler due to the inlet/outlet angle on the CBRD intercooler.

If you don't already have an intercooler, we can work you a nice package deal.

Thanks,

Michael

I had one a long time ago. Fitment was ok but it also necks down going toward the J- Pipe. Plus it's AL not a fan of AL for IC pipes

+1 for ETS!!!

I have the stock route UICP with stock batt. and the LICP both in brushed SS and love it. Quality and fitment are perfect, never had a pipe blow off either. They always take care of me and are on point, fast shipping and great service!

Don't do Injen, you'll be wasting your money. I bought them and installed(taking about 2 hours fighting with the crappy lower IC pipe, all was fine for a while then it started blowing the lower pipe off every damn day. To get the lower pipe on there you needed 2 people and a ton of patience to try and bend the pipe into the coupler.

I got the AMS LICP to replace it and haven't had one blow off or issue since.

Anyone know if the ETS stock battery piping will fit with the stock air box?

The stock battery piping won't work with the factory airbox. We do offer a replacement filter/adapter if you don't want a complete intake.

thanks!

Dont go with Injen, i made that mistake when i bought mine and wanted to save money. I have had so many problems with the injen pipes blowing off and have replaced the couplers and clamps with Tbolts and it still happens. i would go with some proven parts like buschur,ams,ets

Michael,
I have Question, after comparing the intercooler pipes mentioned I do like the ETS ones the most. However, I noted on point, unlike the Nisei and others, yours don't have mounting brackets in the pictures. Do they come with mounting brackets like the other ones or can you add them upon request? Also, does the lower pipe fit with the stock under tray? Other than that your product looks great!

Thanks

We don't include a bracket on the lower pipe for a couple reasons. We know that not everyone has the same intercooler setup, each intercooler has a slightly different inlet location. If you add a bracket to the mix it puts the lower pipe in a fixed location and doesn't allow it to work with other manufactures products very easy.

We use stainless steel piping. This allows you to tighten the t-bolts as tight as possible without damaging the pipe. This also ensures the piping will not blow off if tightened properly.

The piping works with the stock under tray and most intercoolers on the market.

If you have any other questions, let me know.

Michael
