Injen is a good one, but I recommend getting two t-bolt clamps and a 3 or 4 inch coupler to connect to the intercooler, so far I had no problems. The couplers are kind of short and had the regular clamps on them, but they kept popping off. After installing the t-bolt clamps and all that, my car would respond a lot better, made a couple of hard shifts and never popped off ever again.

It will fit our intercooler.

Ryan your just gonna have to understand ppl have different prospectives from every brand they use, unless you want to prove it on a video why we should choose ZZP over the others. I just wanted completed hard pipe across my motor to make sure it had one complete direction of airflow, but I'm probably going to get bashed for it because it doesn't make a difference.

I myself have the INJEN pipes. I like the more direct route the air takes right over the engine. Its a matter of preferance I guess. I bought them because they serve a purpose and had the right price back when they first came out. ZZP didnt have any pipes out when I was shopping. Def get T-bolt clamps. That is a MUST.

The only thing I'm interested from ZZP is their downpipes I heard they are the best next to Hahn. I sure you guys are in the woodworks of coming out with new things. Too bad I miss that sell on the spun metal dp. PPL say I should go catless, but knowning me I like to do a one time change and never change it again before and after emissions.

Well the thing I worry about when it comes to charge pipes that cross over the engine, do they block the oil filter from being reached? Does the pipe have to come off to get to the oil filter?
If I went to a Jiffy lube, or a Goodwrench service center, is the tech going to lean the wrench right up against the charge pipe to get the oil filter cap unscrewed and in the process damage the paint or dent it? If this happens, they'd blame it on the driver for getting the charge pipe and not pay for damages.
ZZP's charge pipe follows the stock route which is good. The length of the charge pipe doesnt matter in the sense we are talking here... its like a difference of 6 inches?

me all I got to do is loosen each clamp at both ends and loosen up the screw that is holding the Injen CP in place, take it out. Gives me plenty of room to work with when it comes to oil changes. That internal oil filter is in a tight place with the Injen or the Stock CP.

As far as the oil change goes, well, I prefer to do them myself. What I do is reach under the pipe and drop the socket on the oil cap and then lower an extension from the top onto the socket and then ratchet away. It takes two seconds

Well I heard about Hahn's CP being a little bit of an issue when it comes to fitting the coldside. I had my Hahn Intake for a couple of days and I gotten the 2nd gen with the breather lock and so far no issues. I'm enjoying it, but I'm interested in the DP's from ZZP, when it comes to the exhaust I might get that custom made.

I had 2 sets of dejon and an Injen. Both work just fine. I like the way Dejon fits on the intercooler better and they have GREAT customer service. I dont like that ZZP makes you hack up your stock piece to mount there Charge pipes however when for a few bucks I can get a full replacement. But there price is the cheapest so it does work that way. You dont care about the stock part, go ZZP and hack it and get the piping for the cheapest way. You want a full replacement piece, order from a different company and spend a few more dollars. Dejon offers good options for those that want different colors, BOV flanges mounted in different locations, and MAF relocation all in one package. Thats what I like about them. And Iv never experienced a performance benifit with a CP running the more "direct" route.Thats just IMHO though i like all CP's on the market, none have wronged me. I do like Injen's moutning on the intake manifold, i think thats brilliant.

This is why I'm not going with ZZP on this part. I want to keep my factory piping around in case I sell the car or need to take it in for service.
