ARM Motorsports Chargepipe

bcaz808 · 11-15-2016, 04:59 PM

Just wondering if anyone has any info on this chargepipe? Saw it on ebay for $99 but can't find any reviews.

Spend the little extra for a name brand one, or find a name brand one for the same price used
You'll thank me later

That's what I'll do most likely, was just curious to see if anyone has tried this one.

I know someone who bought an ebay brand one which is ARM among others and he had fitment issues and it wouldnt hold and kept popping off.

Curiosity got the best of me so I ordered one. If it doesn't workout I'll return it and order the VRSF one.

You're going to need more than luck, we had to return one of these and they stopped responding to us. ebay and paypal aren't helping because the product is over a certain time limit for claims.

Right now we're sitting on several hundred dollars in door stops and paper weights.

I'll update the thread to let you guys know how it works out. It was only $99 so I'm not too worried and have never had an issue with claims on ebay.

Update: So I ended up returning the chargepipe and picking up a used MAP Performance chargepipe. The welds on the ARM chargepipe looked awful on the inside and the machining for the throttle body connection wasn't too great either.

I think the term you get what you pay for fits well here with regards to cut rate ebay parts. At least you could return it though.
