Im having lots of trouble with mine, they simply dont fit and have required expensive fab work and lots of hours to get them on and they were the most expensive set i have seen. This was also engine out. I wont mention the vendors name yet as i am waiting to see what he is going to do about it once my tech sends him some more pics. Just be prepared for a lot of hassle, it has delayed my build by over a week when incorrect parts were supplied and then another delay for fab work aswell as a few hundred bucks. Not happy

You might want to consider the flexible type like the one Markski at 911tuning has. Having flexible tubes makes the install easy. The other advantage is you don't have to cut up your original intake. The quality is pure artwork.

Those markski pipes look a lot easier to install. I was worried about durability. Can they get crushed when lifting the engine back up?

What are thy made out of?

You do if you are not taking the engine out. I have a set of these markski flex units waiting for some time on my buddy's lift.

justin8018 - What did you use to cut them off? I was thinking a oscillating plunge cutter?

Thanks,

Tom

I went with the USP inlet pipes, nice set up and local as far as cutting the stock inlet - its worthless piece anyway - other than garage wall art

I still have Evoms hard piping for sale. I know they will go on with the engine in the car, you just have to drop it a bit. 3 pipes and a few hose couplers. Also have a stock plenum to modify. LMK..and good luck....
