I have read some average reviews about the Cobb.

Does anyone have any experience with the eBay charge pipes?
In particular, the BP Racing.

There are also other eBay specials for around $100. I'm a strong believer that you generally get what you pay for but does anyone actually have any experience with a cheap eBay CP? I don't see the point in spending over $300 if the $100 option will be just as good.
Got my Charge pipe(s) from Mike@x-p. Purchased a VRSF 5" stepped intercooler with both upper and lower charge pipes. Cheap insurance if your increasing boost with a tune. I was worried about the increased temps... Had them a year now with zero issues.
