Default Charge Pipe Kit for 8V S3? ECS?

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ecs-part...591ecs01-01kt/

Hey ECS - Are you guys going to be putting out a kit like this for the 8V S3?
There is the Neuspeed kit out there: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-neuspeed...N-MaAr1m8P8HAQ
But it needs the intercooler to throttle body section, so it is half a solution. Best bet is to combine it w/ some of your elbows.
I like the idea of the turbo muffler delete expanding to a larger diameter, but that is all for nothing if we are to restrict it back down and go through the stock tubes. Looks like some nice gains to be had on the prior version there.

So you've got you own turbo muffler delete kit, you own silicone hoses.... just missing the pipes

Vote this up people, if you'd be interested in the kit. Lets show a business case

lost on your explanation in the end but I am looking into the neuspeed hi flo charge pipe.

after doing my research and talking to a few techs, one being from neuspeed and I have had experience with neuspeed, I am going with their solution. yes its only half but I can always add more later.

I pick neuspeed because the quality and finish is really good compared to the others, hence why they are bit more expensive and I'm fine with that extra cost for quality. another thing is that they are carb legal. I couldn't find ecs tunings carb statement but in California that's a huge plus when we need to smog every two years.

So I'm guessing if you get this:

You should get this too?:

I thought you'd be buying one of them twice, but looking closely again, that is a good combo.

CTS makes a pipe kit as well, but just the first half, similar to the neuspeed, but without the muffler delete. Therefore the start of the pipe is necked WAY down.

I like the concept of the muffler delete expanding to the large flow diameter, but it seems useless to immediately restrict it back down without one of these pipe kits.

Perhaps there is not much restriction from the intercooler to the engine. If that is the case, a good bundle would be the turbo muffler delete, the silicone hoses, and the associated pipes.

Some generally good impressions from the golf side:

This might be the last piece needed:

Add in the lower intercooler hoses, and the neuspeed kit and you have assembled the full intake path.
