Did you measure both ends?

Both c racing

I'd be down for 600ish as well. We could do a group buy!!

Yah I saw this last weekend on all the Alpha GTR's. So if they are strong enough for a 2k+ hp GTR, I am sure they are strong enough for our cars lol.

My bad it wasn't ER, it was VRSF. And yes I, did measure both ends.

A local shop in China. I think the pipes are made in Taiwan or Japan, can't remember exactly.

Our chargepipes are larger in diameter everywhere vs the OEM chargepipes. Please don't spread misinformation.

No misinformation here, pictures don't lie. You can clearly see that the inlet right off the turbo is smaller than the factory chargepipe in the picture.

Not to mention what was done with the welding on the inside of the tube. Whoever put it together welded the outside of the tube poorly and then grounded it off for aesthetic reasons, weakening the weld tremendously. Thats fabrication 101. You don't need to be an expert welder to know that picture isn't of high quality work.

I don't want to start anything, but people should know what they're getting for their money.

The first step is limited by the turbos outlet. Whether it's larger or smaller won't matter due to the turbos outlet outer diameter. It's not a flow restriction. The entire tubing and diameter of the tubing is larger than OEM.

So 3 so far already in

I don't want to get into a full technical discussion on here but I have measured the turbo outlet that you are talking about and it is larger than the inlet on the VRSF chargepipe.
Either way, you stated as fact that I was wrong and that the VRSF chargepipe was larger than stock in every dimension and the pictures clearly show it's not.
The fact that you neglected to mention anything about the inside weld quality I took note of speaks volumes as well.

My apologies for hijacking this thread. I'll see myself out. Cheers!
