Do some of you guys can show me some pics of them installed, i'm talking about the polished hard pipes kit from ebay, for ~50$...


Do they fit well?

Thanks

Max

if i could go back in time i would buy the ebay ones instead of the polished $200+ ones.

The secondary turbo inlet shouldn’t be a problem but I had fitment issues with the primary turbo.

search. plenty of threads on fitment of those pipes

I'm with Scratchjunkie.

Max, I have a set of the expensive ones on my car (if you remember). The ebay ones look identical. As for performance enhancement... they are smoother than the accordian oem tracts (less intake restriction), however once heatsoaked, they may be more of an "InterHeater" than anything.

For the price, try them.

PS. You can hear those turbos whine significantly more with these intake runners on.

Thanks David...

My dad bought them and i tried to installed them, but had lot of problems with the primary turbo outlet like dark phoenix said. I'm going to try them on my car to, but it's difficult to fit them.

Thanks

They fit fine with my Apex intake, but I have heard they they don't fit any intake boxes. I painted mine black to make it more stock-looking, but you get the idea.

Can't find the picture but if nobody else posts one I can do it.

Please search. Please.

Mine fit fine, I've got K&N filters on em, works great. Perhaps this is detrimental to learning the search function, hmm, sorry bout that.....

Other than the filter and the shield, I got the Bomez hard pipes, couplers and clamps altogether for 44 bucks shipped off ebay.

I got the "Ebay" type ones from someone on here awhile back, and yeah, I don't think they'd fit with any box type intake. The 2ndary pipe fits fine but the primary doesn't fit so well. The cheaper ones are pretty thin and made from aluminum. I just got some new stainless steel ones from a friend - not sure if those make a difference at all though.

*the silicone couplers suck. they will split in half the first time you drive... so buy some nice ones couplers..... but other than that, the pipes are really nice.

Yes, the couplers suck BIG MAMA ***. I got some AEM ones to replace it. If you guys can see my pics in my earlier post (which i cant) my intake setup looks exactly like fujikuro's. Even with Damian's heatsheild. filters, couplers pipes and everything the same lol.

they dont fit that great if you are running an intake where they both attach to the same filter. IE the stock box or the Blitz SUS (for the Blitz FMIC) like mine. I had to cut them to get it to fit properly. the problem is the bottom pipe doesnt turn quickly enough.

jeremyb

thats a big filter lol

rotorsownyou7

Are you selling that intake? I swore I saw that exact picture on eBay earlier today.

Clean bay

That filter looks like a freakin' lampshade!

AntiVenom7

yep i am selling it. i have gone single and dont need it anymore.

keeping the engine bay clean is as important as the outside. actually i find more people stare at your engine than the rest of the car, even when it is relatively stock.

DGblk93

^I agree. Everyone always wants to see under the hood.

By lampshade, I mean huge

Watch out for ebay stuff, I bought those a year ago, and it was supposed to elimnate the stock air bock which gave me alot of problems. It came with only one filter, and I had to go to pep boys to buy another. After that, i had to cut half of a cupling to use as a spacer to make the filter screw tightly to the pipe. And 6000 miles down the road, my turbo went out because it sucked in that cupling. So make sure that everything fit before using it.
