Piping is piping man. What really matters is fitment, material and that it doesn't take unwanted bends

Edit: I just looked up pictures of the kit online. Looks fine. I personally am not a fan of aluminum IC piping but to each their own

most WeapnR stuff is junk. Just not good quality. For example their intake manifolds are complete crap. I'd go with some quality piping like ETS or Buschur. I run the ETS piping and I love it.

Al is too easy to dent/damage or distort edges clamping down the T-Bolts. Not a fan I like the solid feel of SS piping

So I'll stick to SS and make up the weight elsewhere

Looks like the brushed SS yup. They do powder coated options as well.

SD is for removing you MAF sensor so likely the UICP will have another bung in it for a IAT sensor and ETS will even flange it for you to except a Tial BOV

Get what you want man. Dare to be different . I was just giving you my opinion on the matter. You are not going to notice any difference between any of the piping kits power wise. They don't really even add much power to begin with.

Some preach the LICP will help spool which I can believe though I never tested it. If you like the look of the Weapon R pipes get them. Only thing I'd be leery about is fitment as I do not know anyone who has them nor did I know they existed.

As for the ETS kit I can vouch. Their parts are second to none, their CS is second to none and the parts fit 100% as they should hell they practically bolt themselves on

just because the pics of the piping on weapon r's website 'looks' ok, doesnt mean yours is going to fit correctly. Anything from the ends not lining up just right or it having an issue with it rubbing on something, due to manufacturers tolerances, is what you can expect for these cheaper brands with the lower prices. I would recommend whats been proven here on the forums.
