Default Need uppipe opinions:

I have been itching to finally buy one. I have been looking at the following:

Autospeed Flex Uppipe - 319$ shipped
Perrin Uppipe - 229$ shipped
HKS Uppipe - 145$ shipped

I could save a ton of money going HKS....but is it worth it?

Well,
As you (Art) can see I am not speaking on behalf of everyone in the group but, I personally have had SUCCESS when dealing with HKS with my Supra Twin Turbo.. Then again we are talking a totally different kind of car .. but the basic idea is there.. "Turbo Charger !!! "

I dunno about that. Dan is a nice guy but he has quality issues. Supposedly he isn't allowed to make stuff anymore, so they might be good now.
