APR Bi-Pipe. Not the cheapest, but the best.

Default A solid piece of metal is less likely to fail than a piece of rubber. Period.If he can't put his TBB

sensor in correctly, that is his problem IMO.

Default not apparently..i've heard of so many ppl having issues w/ leaky bi pipes..

all that solid piping leaves no room for flex...ask scott about his latest problem..his RS4 stuff was such a tight fit that the up-pipe broke off the mount into the TB..now he has a massive boost leak and has to replace the pricy RS4 up-pipe...

i'm sure the bi-pipe works fine for some...but there is no gains from it, and the Samco TBB w/ the revised boot clamp is virtually fail prool...the bi-pipe is just unnecessary IMO.

I've heard of plenty more people having and hating the Samco TBB than the APR bi-pipe

Default I have a SAMCO, but after getting it I wish I bought an OEM one. SAMCO's aren't all

they're cracked up to be. Stiff crappy material IMHO. I also had to cut the height of the opening for the MAP sensor (It was almost 1" high) so it could actually go far enough down into the TBB.
