To be sincere, yeah i like them.
Is a quality piece, one of the few mishimoto parts worth buying for our cars.
For the money you are paying, is only worth it if you buy both the cold and the hot. hot is too expensive to buy alone + also there are cheaper options. And for the money you pay for the cold alone, you might as well buy a cpe exhale imo. I also got them on a sale, so it was sweet.
I always think that making the charge flow as free flowing as posible helps alot.
The hot side with that 120+ degree bend by the turbo outlet, going with a bigger pipes help flow better
The stock cold pipe has a lot of small bends but the bad part is, if you had look inside the pipe, is really has a pourus surface, bad for flow. Not much of a selection to look for on a cold pipe that is complete from the fmic to the throttle body onless you go custom.
The pipes come with turbo clamps, the lips are bead rolled, mandrel bend,silicone couplings 5ply,silicone hose for the symposer, you can still use the symposer if you like, if you dont want to just use the plug that comes with it. Is great
That is my take on it
