intake pipes
I had the M2 and now I have the set Jason sells at the 7 store. They are for looks mainly and I like them alot the stock pipes look pretty bad. as for hp gains I doubt it. The great thing is that jasons are just as good, cheaper and something M2 wouldn't know about he has them in stock. Good luck trying to get them in any reasonable time frame from M2

I don't think they are worth any more than 175.00. I can't believe I spent 250+ on the damn things... But I like them. I'd go cheaper if I could do it again.

The idea is that you replace your intake hoses with a stainless steel one since your rubber ones are prone to break after heat cycling. However, it doesn't justify spending $285 on it. Thta and plus the lower one is a pain in the **** to install

Right.
What would be best is probably some of those molded plastic type pipes that come with greddy intercooler kits.
Also:
Has anyone actually split the stockers? they're not even pressurized., so i think the "prone to splitting" thing is overblown. I wouldn't want plastic or rubber AFTER the turbos, but here i don't think it matters.
There might be some value in getting rid of the flex ribbing, to improve the flow a bit though.

I split the lower intercooler hose pipe not too long ago - the dealership wanted $240 for ONE pipe. I found a great deal on the forum for both pipes. I'm using my CAD programs to draw them out to see if I can get them fabricated for cheap at my friend's machine shop.

So, these pipes are for use with the stock IC and that's it right?? I wouldn't see why anyone would buy them at all since we all seem to upgrade IC's just as soon as possible. I have a feeling that I'm gonna look like a jackazz for this post, but then again I don't know everything either. What's the deal with these pipes?(stock IC only or only SMIC's?)
