I got tired of overpriced brand name items and decide to get one of those "cheap" ebay intercooler (bling bling) pipes. And let me tell you this.......It has probably been the best investment I ever made. Those who say that these aren't any good and won't perform as well as Greddy or any other brand name are probably just jealous because they spent $80 or more on the same item just because of a name.
The pipes ARE made from aluminium and cool down very quickly. The ends of each pipe is beaded so the couplers can't pop off.

The installation was pretty straight forward and took me about 45minutes. I did have a a minor issue with adjustment but that's not because the product was designed improperly it's because I have a 60mm throttle body without a throttle elbow on my car so I had to figure out a way to connect the pipe to the throttle body. The fuse bracket had to be slightly bent as well which wasn't a problem at all since it doesn't really serve a purpose anyways.
Once I installed everything, turned the car on, and went for a cruise I was rather supprised by how much better the car pulled. There is a noticable difference. I didn't feel this much of a difference even when I installed my turboback exhaust.
All in all I give this product a A+. It looks good, welds are good, fits perfectly, flows better than the stock piping (enough to notice a difference), and is rather affordable.
Here's a couple of pics of how I received the pipes and the pipes installed on my car
