carefull over speed bumps, if you havent noticed all our new goodies under the car hang down pretty far. i would say its probly the only flaw of the kit, by the looks of things theres not alot of room to play down there so they prob didnt have a choice to get the pipeing any higher. i wacked the bottom of mine yesterday. luckaly didnt do anything.

My section 1 pipe off the turbo scrapes down my driveway everyday leaving and coming, but its so light that is just puts scrapes in the metal... I have whacked the intercooler pipe 2 times, 1 over speedbumps and 1 just on a bump uneven construction road... The stuff does hang VERY low, esp when a car is lowered like mine! Seems pretty strong though as I have nothing more than a few scratches....

Yea, stuff hangs pretty low, but there is no other way to run tubing that big. I can't imagine how they got the stage 3 4" exhaust to fit. Price you have to pay to play. :shhh:

Unfortunately there's no better way. With lowered cars this can be an annoyance. The good news is, this pipe is located directly between the front tires so it still allows you to go over speed bumps, etc. But they do get beat up over time. Luckily they're easy to replace, and even if you rip one off completely while you're driving you can still make it home, you just won't have boost.

The most expensive part about that pipe is the HKS BOV fitting, other than that they're pretty inexpensive to make. If you guys want to get a spare, or need to replace yours just let us know. We have plenty in stock.

It's actually the same pipe for all stages.

Yea, I know the intercooler pipe is the same. I was talking about the huge 4" downpipe. Wording was bad there, sorry. :eek:

I've already replaced mine once :).

I made this IC pipe + blow off valve flange available for purchase online. I also priced it very close to our cost for those of you that need them.
