So right now I'm A&A charge pipe and just looking to squeeze a bit more out of my setup. I stand now at about 800 whp on e85. I look at the 2 units and see advantages with each side. The AA using has a hard bend right at the inlet of the head unit which seems to be a possible huge restriction. The ECS doesn't have that as much but is narrower over the top of the radiator part. Just wondering if anyone has and real world thoughts on whats better. They both are awesome companies and have great products just want some input.
Do you have a shorter radiator or massaged OEM radiator? When I had my T trim with my shorter radiator I used a 4" pipe with a 90* bend as my inlet pipe. I had to barely dent it where it went over the radiator but it looked and worked great.
Im cant recall exactly but I want to say I picked up another psi or two.
Kidding aside, take a picture, or just a look, at the blower inlet side of the two next to each other and I think you will answer your own question.
Our C5 kit now comes with a 4" aluminum duct, just an FYI.
how do you handle going over the oem rad? I have the drop cradle kit and have massaged the top of the rad as much as I feel ok with and still cant get a 4 in inlet pipe to work.
