Time to upgrade the UIC and I was leaning towards the extreme from extreme motorsports, but after reading a bit I've found that there are quite a bunch of good ones out there and the extreme one is rather pricey. I definitely want a top of the line quality one, but the cheaper the better. I plan on getting a greddy type-s BOV with the UIC also, so if anyone knows of a good choice and where I can get it, I'd much appreciate it, thanks.
 
I like RRE's pipes.

I formerly had a Dave Brode IC pipe setup, it worked great, just was a rather "cheap" / ugly setup
 
I used the dejon tool pipe. You get to pick the color and the craftsmanship is pretty good. Its the best bang for the buck IMHO.
 
I have the Brode pipe and I think it works and looks great. I don't know why it would be considered ugly compared to others. It's just a short metal pipe with 1 mandrel bend in it and a flange welded on it. You can paint it any color you want. The weld on the flange looks very neat to me. It is made for the 1G BOV, but you can drill new holes in the flange to accomodate a Greddy Type S BOV. I guess if you're set on that particular BOV you might be better off with the Road Race pipe so you don't have to drill new holes. It will cost you about $40 though for that convenience.
 
I got dejontools uicp myself. Was more work than I expected for just a pipe replacement, and 2/4 hose clamps broke on me (get new hose clamps if you buy theirs, before you start). The color was nice though, and the price can't be beat.
 
i got the greddy pipes to and i love them, if you look carefully you can find them for under 200 and they give that sweet sheet metal look and are aluminum plus you get a lower pipe too. you can look at my picture gallery on the second page my engine shots and there it is first hand. look on ebaymotors and dsmtrader
 
i have dejon upper L and S pipes.. build quality was good.. and its a nice addition that you get to pick what bov flange you want on it as well as color of the pipes for no additional charge (except for the hks ssqv flange).. install was pretty straight forward and though the couplings were a lil short you just have to give just enough for each pipe and you shouldnt have a problem. and compared to the others.. the price is great..
 
Build your own. Why pay more for the same thing, and you get to build it the way you want it. Bolt on's are cool and convienent and everything but IMO it's much more worth it if you build it yourself. I built my own pipes, relocated the BOV up higher and now have a straight metal..not rubber pipe from the BOV back into the intake pipe. Loud as hell, sounds like you're venting to the ATM, but you're infact venting right back where it was intended..the intake track.

Hope this sparks a few ideas of your own. I'm thankful for bolt on's but I'm much more appreciative when I can do the work myself. Just my 2 cents.
COST....60.00
 
I like the dejon uip myself...Looks good, decent price, noticeable power increase(for me anyways...the butt dyno)....
The thing about the greddy kit is that it doesn't replace the throttle body elbow.
