everybody seems to upgrade everything else on a drag kit excepr the piping, so it must be pretty good.

I had some of the chrome peel off on some of my piping, but otherwise it's OK.

people dont upgrade it becuase people are too lazy to make piping (even though its easy)

the piping is mild steel which will rust internally and hold heat. It should either be stainless steel or aluminum (preferably). Aluminum is the best becuase it can rapidly shed heat, however it is 60$ a bend, so you get what you pay for. Also its a lot harder to weld aluminum

also the piping diameter is tiiiny

IMO it sucks.

drag piping are 2" form turbo to IC, 2.25" from IC to TB..and yes geoff is right, it rusted easily on the inside and build up heat....
size wise it's fine....you'll want velocity more than volume....but quality wise, it's not all that great....

That is good to know, guess I am looking for another means for IC piping for my setup... outside of going custom how is the revhard piping compared to drag?
Any comments? This would be for a d16...
