Default Someone Sell me a used APR BiPipe

I've tried putting up a want ad in the classifieds but I get stuck on step 2 because there is something wrong with the page.

I'm looking for an APR bipipe, will take a used one for the right price. I've had two offers @ $300, but that is too much IMO. If you have one you want to get rid of PM me.

Thanks!

I'm not happy about the MAP sensor connection on the TBB and I'm doing FMIC soon, figured I'd do the bipipes too while I'm in there.

Do you have a set you're selling? I'd like to get rid of the tbb as the after market one from ebay is causing me endless trouble now with these higher boost numbers.

Any benefit of ARD bipipe kit vs. the APR bipipe?

I'm a firm believer in the stock one. lol I had one fail but I think that was due to being installed poorly.

Default What I've learned:

I'm hesitant to use the stock TBB with where I plan to go in terms of power on this car. There's no doubt that the stock TBB is a perfect fit for this complicated junction - the aftermarket TBBs do not have the same grooves for the hoses and the MAP sensor connection is shaky at best. The ebay TBB from autobahn 88 and the samco TBB it is based on don't inspire confidence - there are 4 connections on the TBB and at least two of them have fitment issues when compared to stock.

I looked at ARD bipipe + 034 tbb and this looks like a good set-up. The 034 tbb is modeled after stock - the main drawback I see is that you can get the APR bipipe for the same amount of money and just eliminate the TBB altogether.

So, It looks like I'll be ordering a new APR bipipe today unless someone can give me a good reason to go with ARD or can offer me a good price on a used bipipe kit.

With the ARD you also need an EFK IIRC. I was just tossing out ideals bro.
