You will get some haters here saying its cheap, yada yada and yada... but I have used this on a couple cars now and NEVER had any issues. Worked and welded the same as any other brand companies Al. Go for it.

yeah it's not like the IC piping undergoes any stress of supporting a turbo, not much heat to deal with, SHOULDN"T be rubbing on anything....sooo basically piping is piping, go for it, just weld a bead around the edge of each pipe or get it bead rolled to prevent the couplers from ripping off. But ****, $115 bucks, not bad at all and it's nice and light.

I would just upgrade the clamps to T-bolts, It sucks when pipes blow out under boost.
