Any Body Try This New Boost Tube From JM Turbo Coopers?

While doing some online window shopping I came across a new product they are offering HERE

Here's a pic:





Any thoughts on this? Also, further down the road when I decide to get Meth, am I still going to be able to tap this for a Meth injector?

I haven't tried it looks like aluminum I assume sorry didn't click the link and actually it should be easy to just drill run a tap and you'll be good probably easier than the plastic as the plastic just grabs the bit and the bit will actually thread into if your not careful

No, but I did buy his 3" Catless dp and was very happy with the quality.

What's the point of changing that pipe..?

Sorry maybe that's a stupid question. What else is achieved beyond deleting the noisemaker??

This pipe replaces this piece:



So the theory is the air has less restriction and its of larger diameter.

Yeah but the starting and ending diameters are the same. I would imagine because of fluid dynamics as long as the overall area of any given section of the pipe is the same area as the inlet/outlet (whichever is larger) your flow is peak. If fact, making a pipe larger than the inlet and outlet would just create turbulence and slow down the air. The OEM tube definitely looks big enough to achieve peak flow, I imagine it's just made by molding one piece of constant-diameter ABS piping. I highly doubt the JM pipe would do anything on its own.

Looks nice, but their dyno claims also state that the runs were done with their 3 inch catless downpipe also installed. I would think that the catless DP had more to do with the power gains than that tube. I have noticed that the stock plastic tube on my 2011 MCS seems to a bit restricted in the middle, where clearance is needed for the head/valve cover. Maybe the increased inside diameter of the thinner aluminum piece would help some? Not sure until the tube is dyno-run with a stock downpipe. Then we could make some comparisons, maybe....

That's what I'm thinking...
