It comes down to value. There are some Chinese pipes out there that are cheaper. But the quality of the hoses is horrible and fitment is random. For the upper pipe often the support bracket to the radiator support will break off creating a boost leak. There are more expensive pipes out there too. Maybe they are cuter, maybe the company has a fast race car that they need to pay for. But the expensive pipes won&#8217;t make your car any faster. Here in &#8220;Kalifornia&#8221; we need to keep things on the stealthy side so we only offer the black piping with black couplers.<\/p>\n<p>Mostly we recommend upgrading the intercooler pipes and the intercooler all at once. If on a budget, do just the upper pipe for now and the rest later. For the lower pipe and the intercooler install, the front bumper cover pretty much needs to come off. Might as well do them together.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:

Intercooler Pipe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The upper intercooler piping starts with a smooth mandrel bent 2.5&#8243; stock turbo outlet pipe which connects to the remainder of the hot side piping.\u00a0 The stock turbo outlet pipe is separate to allow it to be swapped out with the installation of the ETS EVO X turbo kit to come so that the remainder of the upper piping can be retained.\u00a0 This ensures that you never have to &#8220;upgrade an upgrade&#8221; and spend more money on a new upper pipe when it comes time for a big turbo kit.\u00a0 Making the connection from the turbo outlet pipe to the intercooler is a single-piece mandrel bent 2.5&#8243; upper intercooler pipe.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The\u00a0ETS\u00a0Mitsubishi Evolution X Upper Pipe removes the restrictive factory hose which is 1.75&#8243; after the turbo outlet and replaces it with a full 2.5&#8243; upper\u00a0intercooler\u00a0pipe which helps with throttle response as well as reliability. \u00a0The factory hoses are prone
