Hey all,
It's my birthday and Christmas and it's time for some charge pipes. I'll be dyno'ing again in a month or so and I've done a few upgrades since the last dyno, figured now that I have hybrid turbo it's time for this upgrade before the next time on the machine. I've spent a few hours doing my research and before I purchase I'd love some of your suggestions. I will NOT be running meth injection so I don't need one with a port; no BOV port is needed either.
I searched and read all the threads but I'm up for fresh perspectives.
My main questions are:
1, Do you recommend both hot and cold side or just hot side? I keep reading that the hot side is the one that makes the difference...
2, I see partial hot and full hot pipes...thoughts on which to choose? Obviously I'd go partial to save money if full isn't needed...
3, I see partial cold and full cold pipes...thoughts on which to choose? Obviously...same as #2...
4, I see a bunch of options that vary greatly in price and wonder if the DEPO will cut it or if I need to spend more money?
5, Is there a significant increase in sound? I will not have a BOV option, and in general I like my car quiet in terms of induction/turbo noises which is why I'm a bit scared of the DEPO, there were many comments about whistling on that thread even after clamps were super tight.
6. Do you recommend metal or silicone? I see WHOOSH has a silicone set but most of the other stuff is metal...
Here are the results of my research, these are the 5 options I'm considering:
1. MBRP $114.99 HOT SIDE ONLY - PARTIAL
https://jst-performance.com/products/mbrp-intercooler-pipe-fiesta-st
2. DEPO RACING $199.99 HOT SIDE FULL, COLD SIDE PARTIAL

3. MAP $249 HOT SIDE FULL, COLD SIDE FULL (I think - not sure on this one)
https://www.maperformance.com/produ...ge-pipe-upgrade-2014-ford-fiesta-st-fist-cpkx
4. MISHIMOTO $332 HOT SIDE FULL, COLD SIDE FULL
https://jst-performance.com/collect...e-kit-2014-ford-fiesta-st?variant=22483337607
5. WHOOSH $79.99 + $169.99 + $20.99 = $269.97 ?BOTH SIDES FULL?
