Any thoughts. Leaning to BMS. Sure Afe has the looks, but BMS half the price.
 
BMS is a fairly new product so I don't think you are going to get a ton of people chiming in but we've sold a couple of sets and customers seem to be happy with them. We carry both sets on our site. If you have BMS' intercooler then go with their kit since they offer a version specific for their intercooler setup. We also have discount codes you can use on our site that should help with shipping costs since you're in Canada Here's a link to our charge pipes:

If you got the BMS intercooler go with that ! If you don't the afe charge pipes have less leak points and are also metal.

I have the bms intercooler already and am getting the bms chargepipes installed next week to complete the whole kit/look. Should be pretty nice!

Not expecting anything crazy but better flow is always welcome. Will work pretty well with the huge intercooler especially later on if I go with some bef. Excited to see it on. Wonder if it will make the gfb bov sound slightly louder. :) I'll take some pictures and post it here.
 
Pics are always good 😀

Here is mine... it took a few hours to get them not to rub, especially after heat wrapping them.

Everytime I get my hands and arms full of fibres I say never again yet here we are lol

Nice! I am sure the heat wrap does help. I like that the bms chargepipes keep the factory bov flanges to keep the oem like look which I am mostly going for anyway.

I am also going to see if I can checkout the bms single turbo stinger while I am at bms this week. :) Would be cool to see them do a proper exhaust on it to see how it sounds instead of that open hood exhaust.
 
Forgot... the AFE pipes i bought off TORK are average at best and I had to cut off the joining brackets connecting hot and cold side because it just would not sit right without rubbing somewhere either both sides of the K frame or the radiator shroud or shortening all the silicon joiners... it really was a pain!

Not to mention dremmeling out the diverter holes 'sigh'

Great improvement especially on cold side. Improved throttle response, great fitment. Love the oem like look/color. Temps with the bms intercooler are great! Logs look great after some pulls on map 3 with JB4. Zero corrections, great fuel trims, nice steady boost peaking at around 20 psi. This will work even better once I got the KJT bef ecu and bms tcu tune on in a few months.

You do need to get an additional t bolt clamp for the throttle body to hold it better as the oem clamp is just not good enough especially with how thin it is in surface area. I put a bigger clamp on for now and got one from amazon that i will put on and share with you guys so you know what to get.

Definitely a great mod that doesn't cost much! Happy to answer questions as best as I can.
