CXRacing IC System (The one piece hot pipe one)

I'm using the kit now. Here is my feedback:

Problems:
The clamps are complete junk, They break before you can apply enough tourqe to keep the pipes on.
The 1 piece hot pipe positions the bov directly above the exhaust manifold. This melted diaphagm the counterfiet SSQV it came with.
The cold pipe hits both the engine hanger and the strut tower brace. Rattles.
The IC bolt holes do not line up with factory mounting locations. Not even close.
The couplers have ZERO give to them. With how dramtically temperatures change (thermal stresses) it is a mater of time before they cause something important to crack.
The ram air is too long. You have to use a short cone on the AFM. Regular cones will not fit.
It takes about 1 man hour to reinstall the pipes due to terrible fitment (think pulling on the coldpipe hard. Really hard)
Did not come with fan or shrouds. EMS powered and KO racing fan shrouds did not line up with bolt holes close enough. Had to use zip ties.
Pipes will pop off. All the time. Seriously lame.
After the car warms up the IC does nothing. It gets so heat soaked so quickly.


After 6 months of struggling against this "good deal" everything in the kit im now replacing, or have already done so. I'm doing what I should have done 6 months ago and putting together a simple barrel type A2W IC system.
