Favorite B46 chargepipe?

Looks like lots of choices out there for chargepipes for a b46 330i.

Any of them definitely better made than others? Any to steer clear of?

Will likely pair with dinan air box and intake pipe at some point.

Looks like FTP chargepipe is on sale this week at xph, so just curious!

Thanks!

+1 for FTP , its an excellent option

the best is the Evolution Racewerks, their finish is second to none given that its all made in the US

The best value is MAD, fits well, gets the job done and comes with a lifetime warranty. All for an unbeatable price.

I have the ER charge pipe (purchased from Mike as well)... Construction/fit&finish is second to none. It's a beautiful product.

That said, the flare at the end of the each pipe along with the silicone sleeve and weird clamps were a little frustrating to get 100% if you have even the slightest case of OCD.

The clamps kind of pinch the sleeve leaving what appears to be a gap - obviously there's no gap, but like I said - my OCD had a tough time getting everything perfect.

I've measured using BimmerLink and there are no boost leaks. I'm running the Dinan intake and turbo inlet as well - there's plenty of obnoxious noise coming from the engine bay now. LOL

Slightly larger in some areas but there is no real benefit to a larger charge pipe design.
