Help.... Titanium vs stainless steel intercooler piping
im considering to get an ETS Intercooler pipe for my 2010 Evo X... but cant decide on getting a titanium upper intercooler or stainless steel.

Does the titanium have any overall gain over the stainless steel or is it just for bling bling?

Bling bling. Its lighter than aluminum but with an ICP you wont notice a difference.

You won't see a performance gain with the Ti piping over the stainless piping, but it does add a nice look to the engine bay

Thanks,

Michael

Price isn't too bad but I think the ETS is a bet more valued priced? Like that gunmetal finish though.

Not so much worried about the price and it is aluminum... So now I'm thinking about getting cobb.... But it does say won't fit with factory air box and stock engine cover....


Which I'm also trying to get AEM intake so don't know if would have trouble with fitment... What do u guys think?

The COBB EVO X Hard-Pipe kit is one of the very few that will fit with the factory air box in place (or the optional COBB SF Intake) as well as the stock front engine cover.

I think you read wrong?
