How important and what difference will hard pipes add to a cars performance? I am thinking about getting cold side first with a bov, because ive been told that helps turbo life since there is less backpressure from unused boost. The last thing is should i get rid of my mopar bov or can i leave it and add a bov, many people say i have to put a block off plate but ive seen others have both.

Any input on this is appreciated thanks.

 

The people that run both are just to lazy to pull the Mopar one off.If your gonna run a Aftermarket Bov buy a Block off plate and use it.I have heard that running different hardpipes help lean it out a lil bit,but i haven't seen any proof of that.

 

hard pipes won't lean out the car. it has no effect on fuel at all. it helps you from losing boost through the stock pipes expanding and leaking, and also allows you to mount a external bov (a real bov not the rice plate).

 

I heard people that install hard pipes usually gain 1psi of boost. I also heard JMB has the best fitment...but it's all "hear say".

 

There are pros and cons to hard pipes, more pros though. Hard pipes won't distort under boost causing less potential boost and less chance of lag or lessened throttle response. Being metal though they can transfer and hold heat more which can increase intake temperatures, whereas the rubber hoses insulate better but are prone to boost leaks if not properly tightened, which is true for the hard pipes as well. If you switch to hard pipes and intend on using an aftermarket BOV take out the Mopar BOV and put a block off plate in it's place. There is no point in having both BOV's at the same time, it will only sound odd and you will not benefit any from having 2 instead of 1.

 

JMB is far from the best fitment but the best looking with the color options AGP is the only aftermarket hardpipe that uses silicone couplers as bends rathern then the piping itself, fitment is barnone compared to others. Not to mention the IAC sensor is soldered on rather then plugged in, preventing blow outs. Only draw back from the AGP is the necesity to use an aftermarket intake & will not fit an AEM short ram.

 

What colors can you get the AGP in?

 

Any color so long as it's silver

If you want a color change, you would have to contact them directly or place a custom order. I warn you though, it will be a LONG wait.

 

i have a set of exhaust depot hardpipes for sale let me know

 

How LONG is long? 1-2-3 months? I am a patient modder so long as I get what I want in the end.
