Another vote for the UAS pipe. Dyno tested.

Gives the best air velocity.

Only way to know for sure is to dyno them back to back, same car, same dyno, same day ;)

Some hardcore NA tuners go by that theory for street application, with zippy effect at the low end. I praise the UAS pipe above the 4000RPM range :)

Did that test include the weapon r?

(Not that I think it would be any better tbh, but I'd be interested in seeing a comparison)

Aza, how did the ARC chamber intake compare out of curiosity?

Also, do you think it is specifically the UAS pipe, or that type of design that is best? ie, big opening, smooth bends, and getting smaller towards the TB to speed air up?

It's only 4-5kws apart, not a lot in the long run but when you are chasing every little bit it adds up.
As for the UAS pipe it's just the design I would say, I had a set up he same shape before hand but at the same size opening all the way along. That set up only gave me 1/2 what the UAS set up did.

How do you think this would work:
As the UAS pipe is too hard to find

I think there is a 70mm option which suits the FTO well.
There are a few sizes as it is for a Honda which may run an oversize TB, and you know the aftermarket for them...
