    if your going to do it, spend the extra $30 and get an APS hard pipe..
    it's more work to install, but is a MUCH nicer peice than any of those silicon ones.

    Well, if you were to look at a aftermarket one vs the stocker, you would know why you want to replace it. As for silicon ones being bad, you just want to make sure that it is wire re-inforced. My avo pipe goes from the air box all the way to the turbo inlet, and that thing will never collapse. I would say the only ones that I have heard of collapseing are the e-bay cheap-o ones.
