Will, is there a benefit in using silicone turbo to intercooler pipes instead of stainless? I would think having all stainless pipes would be superior? Is it maybe a cost saving option for silicone?

It is actually more expensive to use the custom silicone. Since the connection pipe runs through the control arms, we like using the silicone pipe to prevent rattling. It also make the installation a little easier. I am curious to know why you think the stainless or aluminum piping would be superior.

Was under the impression the stainless would hold up longer? I've never run silicone pipes on my cars so wasn't sure. Youll have to excuse my lack of knowledge. It makes sense why they are needed in the Viper setups. So they are actually a better choice. Awesome.
