N55 Chargepipe Review

yesterday I installed the Chargepipe that recently Vishnu released, and let me tell you, the fabrication is really good, the meth buns are great, almost flush to the pipe, and fitment was nice.

Overall great product.

Fell the car fells more or less the same, but funny thou is that the first 1/2 hour i felt he car a bit with more turbo lag, but it went away.

i don't feel a gain in HP but definitively fell the boost more constant.

i will do some logs to verify what i fell but over all good product.

Just one question When can I finally install the Dam Meth Kit to finally fell the benefit of the charge pipe in the first place!!!

lol

Very nice man... i doubt you'll see much in terms of HP gain from just the charge pipe and i'm sure you knew that already. I'm waiting till the whole meth kit comes out with it then i'll be all over that like a fat kid with a porn mag

Do you re-use the stock DV or use aftermarket?

i don't have pics of the install but the Helix FMIC is a direct bolt on, no drilling, bending or improvising, just perfect. i will take pics of the installed FMIC and pics inside the engine bay.

the only mods i don't have it the catback and intake. catback is still on the to do list but the intake is on my doubt list.

still not sure on with catback.....

definitively ready for meth once shiv is ready for us.
