Charge Piping

So far i have

2010 SS with K&N Drop in and ZZP Catless DP

Stage 1 with BYT Tune

I was interested in changing my upper charge pipe

Is it worth it to change them all?

I was looking at ZZPs upper as well as Dejon Powerhouse

Not sure if Hahn sells just the upper

Silicone couplers must be a must upgrade?

What are your feelings on this subject

i have cia's upper piping and i love it. it was a perfect fit and looks great. plus dan is a good guy to do business with. i dont really think there are much performance gains from it really but it def looks sweet. i only did the upper piping cuz i was a little tight on cash when i did it, but i wish i had done the lower piping too. that'll be done by the end of the summer tho.

I got the injen w/ new silicone couplers (because they are longer) and tbolt clamps. I think its the best one to get for the price and functionality. I also got mine on sale from ottp

just wait until you see the performance autowerks charge piping. give us just a bit longer and we will get you taken care of. look at the build thread in my signature to check out the piping, intercooler, turbo kit, intecooler

I tried the Hahn charge pipes, but didn't like how they fit. I went back to the stock lower and Injen upper. Much better fitment than Hahn, plus the mount like BYT said keeps some weight off the end tanks.

eh some vendors dyno'd and said they gained what like 2-5hp? It does flow better than the stock ones, but its mostly a better flow and sound mod. I wouldnt buy the part thinking you'd gain hp, but to know you are making the engine flow more efficiently.

Agree, better air flow is a must

Performance gains on the other hand, not so much

Since it improves airflow it will help HP a bit, more gain with additional mods though, like a downpipe.

Yes it's two pipes + couplers & clamps so technically it's a set.
