I appreciate the replies, thank you.
As for why I returned the ER pipe, I thought it would be an aluminum stock replacement, and it simply isn't. You may not agree with my reasoning, but it is what it is. I know the acoustic box is unnecessary and can by bypassed, but I'd rather keep it hooked up than loose or with an ugly plug in it. The chargepipe isn't a power-adder. All I wanted was to mitigate the risk of the stocker breaking, and for it to install just as the factory intended.
I realize the stock diverter valves will attach to the ER pipe, but not with the stock fasteners. It requires that you use silicon hoses with wormgear clamps. If they could mirror the OE connector at the throttle body, why couldn't they also mirror the DV connectors? They relocate the DVs to accommodate aftermarket intakes, which I do not have, so again...more modifications I did not want or need under my hood.
All I want is for a chargepipe to attach like stock and not break. It seems that's too much to ask. :/
