STETT charge pipe opinions and fitment

i am in the market for a charge pipe and i am considering STETT. I wanted to reach out and see what your opinions were.

Are the silicone connectors a better design than other CP options any fitment issues ?

Thanks for your help

STETT charge pipe has not been very popular for the last year or 2 .
Is there a reason why you are picking Stett over Evolution Racewerks?

ive seen a lot of threads about peoples charge pipes popping off (no one ever seems to mention the cause) and fitment issues.

I want something that i am not going to have to struggle with getting on and off the car if i need to work on it

Stock charge pipe fail because they are cheap and cannot handle the extra boost ( sometimes stock CP cannot even handle stock boost)
We have sold hundreds of Evolution Racewerks CP, never had a problem with fitment or reliability. It is the most popular choice for charge pipes.

I see both short and long versions on your site. why are their two different fitments?

Short fits 2007 and 2008 cars only
Long fits 2007-2010 cars. The long charge pipe replaces the rubber elbow from the intercooler as well. I recommend you get the long version even if you have an 07-08 model

I've been running Stett CP with a Tial Q BOV and have never had any issues or it popped off for the 4 years of running it with 17-18lbs of boost.

I'd highly recommend sticking with the ER CP or VRSF CP . Although I'm sure there are some Stett followers, we actually stopped selling them for a few reasons.
