If you don't plan to upgrade your IC piping right away or ever still get the IC's with the larger inlets and outlets just use 2.0" ->2.5" silicon transitions if for nothing else - the resale value. 2-3 years down the road you will have no trouble selling the 2.5" versions while I see you getting significatly less for the 2.0" version. Heck I even have 2 2.0" -> 2.5" transitons I'll let go for cheap just to support the cause. I agree much of the gain was from using the larger piping, but you can only utilize that piping with the 2.5" ICs. Testing with 2.0" piping seems pointless to me, if you are going to go massive go all the way, otherwise just get stillen/greddy/whatever I don't think the massive IC's can reach their potential with the smaller piping. m a g l i t o Build up COMPLETE break-in in progress NOW sig photo by me effects by ZXRider(SoCal) The build up begins - progress - reassembly part one - part two
