Is the upper IC pipe really worth upgrading??
I've replaced the stock BOV with a 1st gen BOV. If i replace the stock IC pipe with an aftermarket one will I feel a difference in power??

A mesic brother did a test a little while back at the track. He said after he istalled his IC pipehe dropped .5 in his ET in the 1/4 mile. I'm not sure what dif that made in the MPH. That was on a stock setup.

I noticed there was alot more response from Sheila when I did mine.

I noticed a big difference when I did mine, but I did it at the same time as the BOV so I'm not sure what really did it.

If you look at the IC pipe where it comes through the fender area it really is pretty restrictive.

Thanks Waldo & Jeff for your opinions!!

How worth it is to do the full replacement? I'm using the Dave Brode.

You should feel a big difference. It you have retained stock i/c piping you will notice that left of your BOV the i/c pipe is quite restrictive. You can get the pipes real cheap if you look around, I got the GReddy pipes used from thepartstrader.com for $85 US and they were in perfect shape. Unfortunately I did that and BOV mod at the sametime so I can't quantify the how much power was obtained from either seperately. But now I hold 18 psi on a T25 with no boost controller!
