questions about Hahn Charge Pipes

Hello, I plan on swapping out my stock upper/lower charge pipes with an aftermarket set and was leaning towards the Hahn charge pipe set but had a couple of questions for those with it.
First off, do you recommened I buy a seperate set of couplers like the ones Modern Performance sells or are the couplers that come with the Hahn set sufficient.
Second I have a GMS1 tune with the sensors/pigtail connectors from crate engine depot, will I have a problem with the TMAP sensor on the Hahn lower charge pipe?
Sorry for the long post.....appreciate any info
PS If someone has a better alternative for charge piping please let me know (Ex. ZZP, Injen)
Thanks

I had the Hahn and sold it because I was gonna trade my Balt in, but I loved it, comes with good couplers and t bolt clamps. Popped off once but I ended up not tightening it enough so I fixed it.

Thanks so much for the quick reply.....another quick question, does it come in that black gloss color shown on the website or was that extra $$.....I tried emailing Hahn's customer service with all these ?s but received no response back, thats why I figured I would bother all you guys lol
thanks again

I'm pretty sure you can get in in black or polished, I don't think they added to the price, so I'm not too sure about that. I got mine from modern performance when they were selling them. Lol

Yea I have looked at ZZPs charge pipes, I know they make quality stuff but their charge pipes look almost stock.....I was looking for something with a little more flare.....I like the way the Hahn pipes look, Injen looks good too, wish they made the lower charge pipe as well.
Have you really had problems with their charge pipes rusting?

Wow that pic is unreal......Does anyone have any experience with the OTTP charge piping set? Looks like a real nice set but according to their website its $399.......includes upper and lower.
My main concern with these aftermarket charge pipes is having the couplers fail and blow the pipes off under boost (only running GMS1)
Also took a look at the Injen charge pipe from Modern Performance, might go with this since they also sell uprgaded couplers as well.

Use t-bolt clamps and upgraded silicone couplers stop worrying about it.

My injen went to junk once I got the zfr. Didn't fit right and was always popping off. My zzp one popped off once then I hacked away at the clamp and made grooves in it to really sink into the silicone to reduce the chances of slipping off.
