that dudes got some money to put ONLY 100octane in his car. thats 60 bucks a fill and 200miles per tank if he is lucky. so he put more money in his car, you just have to do the same. or buy a GT3 and drag is *** out to 190mph

Stick with the stock piping
I can vouce for a lower IC pipe. Teh stock design is TERRIBLE!!!!!. Just horrible. I picked up massive gains in spoolup, throttle response, and of course about 10WHP. I loved it, seriously get this mod. You could fell it on a 100% stock car or a car that has everything but, really. Upper is a waste unless you keep blowing off hoses like i did so I did them all.

From: God waiting room
actually started blowing off the upper last weekend and i've been told once it starts popping off it will do it from there on out. 1st time was under high boost during a race... 2nd time was just normal driving so i'm doing it all around
as for my new mods that i have and am waiting to put on.... no offense, but unless your a mechanic and can prove otherwise from the dyno numbers i've seen on a fellow evo owners dyno from his numbers before and after i'm going with what i have really b/c they do create results and very large ones at that, i already have a walbro 255 fuel pump that was a required when i started raising more boost.. as for the vouche on the exede.. to each their own.. the UTEC suits me well b/c it can do boost, fuel, timing, scaling on the injectors etc etc.. all short of a stand alone and rumor is its going to get that far soon with software upgrades
as for picking up 10hp from piping alone... i could believe it... ever notice the stock rubber sections expand when you put even just 3lbs of boost? instead of it expanding then pushing through, it pushes through immediately decreasing spooling time and delivering more power... i'm with you on this one UMiami80~!~
for the statement of guys running GT35R turbos on here with 700CC injectors... thats because their not making nearly as much power, are on the stock fuel systems etc etc so their not getting the full potential of the turbo... sure its possible, but why pay that much for the turbo kit and not get the full potential??? waste IMO

are you joking or not? i can't tell. 10hp off replacing a pipe? i think you be smoking the pipe to believe that
Seriously I **** you not go get an AMS Lower IC pipe and bolt it on, you will FEEL the difference, it is a Major mod and IMHO the most restrictive item besides the Cat.
But this is my personal experience with this mod.

Added 3-400RPM in spool up, when the Turbo HIT, it hit way Harder instead of a gradual boost increase, went from a vvvvvvVVVROOOM to a THWACK!!!!, pick up a measured 10 WHP. Most importantly boost is more reluctant to drop off. I mean it does so much you have no idea how restrictive the stocker is until you do this mod.

strickly from a scientific perspective i doubt one pipe of reasonably short length is going to cause that much of a pressure differential
You have no idea. In my 2G DSM I replace ONE IC pipe, a small part of teh Upper IC pipe which has crimps and bends just like the Evo lower part, OHHH MAN I picked up 3PSI and mad so much more power, you would not believe. Get a LOWER IC PIPE, I guarantee you will be happy. Piping is HUGE, you want solid and no expansion. Just look at them on a dyno, the more they expand, the bigger a pressure drop. You want short as possible, less bends as possible, and no leaks.

That is enough for over 300WHP easy, I doubt you have more then 290WHP, probably like 285WHP. I also hope you were not running 24PSI on pump, you were almost certainly detonating (even slightly) just to kill your top end. You have NO tuning, I am 99.9999999999999999999% sure that your timing is being pulled by ALOT to combat detonation. Pull it back to 21PSI or less, you'll have more I promise.
Don’t sleep on a Modded Sti fellaz.

There is no way that this guy would waist money on cams, like the guy above said, you can't even find them because they are so undesirable.
