can you guys tell from this pic if i have the upper IC pipe upgraded?

yes you do have a upgraded upper IC pipe... along with what looks like a Greddy Type S BOV...

looks like you need a new filter!

what's wrong with my filter!!?.. i think it's just dirty.

and which part exactly is the upper IC pipe. i know the one below and next to the Type-s is the downpipe

i dont know if you talking about the one the type s is connected to or not but that is the upper IC pipe! the black tube that has the BOV on it!

yea your filter is just dirty... i wasnt sure if it is a washable one.. if so just wash it out!

i thought that was the downpipe. or are they the same?

yeah. i remember my frieend telling me to take it out and rins it. i just don't know exactly how :screwy: :iceslolan

down pipe is on the exhaust side of the turbo... goes *down* and back to the cat!

so you can't see it from this picture then. is it directly down below the turbo?

right... it will be right next to the dip stick, just look under the heat shield and you will see it!

what happens if the airfilter gets dirty.. will i notice a big performance drop from my turbo boost? i don't know how to clean it up. and how do you know if it's a cleanable one.

well i dont know if that one is washable or not, the only way i know if they are or not is when ya buy it, if it says washable on the box it is, and if it doesnt the most likely it isnt! :icon16: being dirty can cause some loss in power, so id suggest replaceing it or finding out if it is washable and wash it if it is!

how do you wash them. lift up the hood and start spraying?? LOL :lol:

Jesus..

air filters FLOW AIR, so dirty will flow less air.

A washable air filter you take it out then use filter cleaner.

JoeWagon, should you use filter cleaner.
I have the same filter as he does and i just wash it with warm water and then let it dry. It works for me, it gets clean

that looks like an hks foam style, i believe you can wash it with warm water and a LITTLE soap [cuts grease]. i wonder if your dump tube is cut... seeing as you seem new to the 4g63, you should look into it ;) and the UICP's look like Dejon Tools.

The filter is the hks super mega flow filter

yeah.. turned out that it's the SMF super mega flow filter 200mm NONE WASHABLE!!!.. i just ordered a replacement.. only cost me $14. so no biggie :iceslolan

Just some added info, it appears that you have the HRC UICP, both halves. As far as I Can tell anyway. They're 99 bucks each IIRC. Comes flanged for the type-s too, which makes sense. I ran those pipes with a 1g BOV modded to work on that flange into the low 12s.

ok.. you're gonna have to explain what you just said in ENGLISH!.. :screwy: :screwy: it's a little too much to handle for my fragile little NOOB mind. point to the picture if you can :eek7: :iceslolan

The black poweder coated pipes going from the side mount intercooler to the throttle body. The "upper" half goes to the throttle body from just after the BOV. I cant see the lower half, but I know its there because the BOV attaches to that ;) Most aftermarket UICPs stop at the BOV, and you use your stock rubber hose after that. Actually, you can see the lower half, just behind the filter.
