i was wonder what would be the best charge or charge pipe kit to buy. i know performance wise theyre all about the same. just i remember people saying something about corrosion or something in the past. i want it to look nice under the hood as well so i was thinking about the injen upper charge pipe?

ZZP is by far the best charge pipes ive owned ( ive had injen, hahn and zzp). quality and fitment is the best.

Stock is the best chargepipe. It's also cheap. It basically came free with the car.

I have injen. It is good quality and I've never had an issue with it, although my 1 main problem is it goes RIGHT over the valve cover. which makes doing spark plugs a PITA. just some food for thought.

I either want Treadstones or TurboXs

i'd say ZZP or Treadstone

if you get the TurboXs you are going to have the same issues as the Injen in terms of it being a pain to change plugs so I'm not sure what your gaining by going to them.





I'd go with either Treadstone or ZZP and stick with them. reason being is if you ever decide to get that company's Intercooler or Colside Pipe you know it will fit perfectly. I have the full Treadstone TR8 kit with hot/cold piping (w/ BOV blockoff plate) and I love it. Fits perfectly right out of the box. if or when you start interchanging product brands amongst your piping and IC you may or may not run into fitment problems by doing so.. just my .02

Stock or ZZP. The rest will likely result in a cracked intercooler.

No. Just no. I have TurboXS. I have no issue changing my plugs whatsoever.

I was thinking the the same!

Never had an issue with stock charge pipes.

The ONLY time I had an issue was then it was 115 degrees outside on the pavement and I was adjusting my tune for the hotter weather. On the 3rd tune-test, which is 60-100 in third, I popped off the piping. I slipped under the clamp because it was so gooey from the heat, but that was an extreme condition.
