Work so well!!! Now that I have your undivided attention.

just poking fun here, I was walkin' the dog Saturday and took a vid, of course it's poor quality and ghetto too but if you notice it'll peg the boost at 1.5 bar all day long and they've never blown off or melted, flew apart, etc. They don't have that metal bling or shine but how can this not be 'right'. Feels right to me and the price was right, I've been smacking the crap outa this dog for at least 2 years in this very same fashion too.

I'll try to get a less shaky, longer vid next time. Mods are t04, ross, th350 w/too low stall, 550's, lex, walbro, HKS dump, AFR, old as hell bosch bov

It's kind of in response to all the hatred a few threads back.
just having fun with yall, please no rants, no crazy comments (who am I kidding?, lol)

Not singling anybody out either :)

I dont have anything against PVP pipes per se but then again Im the guy who championed the use of cove base for a front lip. In my defence I couldnt justify spending more for something I saw as cosmetic only and there wasnt alot of options for pre89 lips at the time. In your case you have lots of options for replacing them and based on the other mods you have on your car its not like you are afraid to spend a few bucks.

I dont see why you are so resistant to changing them out for something thats a more accepted standard. Just because something CAN be done doesnt mean it SHOULD be done.

Personally I dont care what you use on your car, and why should you care what anyone else thinks.

The only issue I've EVER seen with the PVC pipes was the same reason the cast elbow in the hot pipe sucks, the ID of the tube is tiny compared to the OD...
