Depo Racing Evolution X and Ralliart upper intercooler hot pipe
Product ID: 17616679
Depo Racing Upper intercooler Pipe. I've been into Evo's so long I forget that many people are starting out and new to the tuning and moding and not sure about choosing parts. I make parts that make power. This upper pipe replaces the weak link in the intercooler piping. The rest of the piping is good for well over 400whp, which is a decent size turbo upgrade. As far as getting the most out of the stock turbo or even a small turbo upgrade, this is the pipe you want to change. 1. Wrinkle Black Only 2. ALUMINUM only OEM 2mm wall thickness quality aluminum piping, the rest is thin and weak. I use 2.5" OEM Grade 2mm thick light and strong, Advantage: it does not bend or crush like basic aluminum pipes, YES it happens a lot because silicone couplers require t-bolt clamps to seal, t-bolt clamps exert a lot of force. T-Bolts not included, but found cheaply on ebay. 3. 2 - 4ply silicone couplers included 25.00 value 4. out flows stock unit creates faster spool 5. Replaces rubber hoses that expand and leak over time 6. NO ELBOW SECTION INCLUDED on top of intercooler, Reason: the stock piece is awesome and I would only copy like other's and charge you more.

Does not fit 2011 Ralliart and possibly earlier models...
Depo Racing made this "new listing" recently so that you would not see what I wrote on the old listing (This is a sign of their questionable business practices!):WARNING, false advertising, does not fit my Lancer Ralliart car. The bends in the pipe seem to be in the wrong positions, doesn't turn out looking like the photos above and WILL rub on the engine cover and hoist point for the block. Silicone hoses are the wrong size for the intercooler pipe side. I tried to return it but DEPO RACING will not accept returns for false advertising and recommended that I should have been aware of this and that I should try to sell them to an "EVO" driver!I read "RYAN"'s review and based my purchase for the UICP and LICP on this. After re-reading his comment, I beleive that his comments, "I found some posts on forums about this, where the manufacturer commented about the price and said "Its not cheap, its the appropriate price for a bent Stainless Steel tube, lol." " is suspect, because the pipe is advertised ALUMINUM and is ALUMINUM.Maybe quality control is NON-existant at DEPO Racing, but their comments are inexcusable.
