Up-pipe recommendations
Well I'm the kind of person when something breaks, I don't replace it, I upgrade it.
This morning while washing the engine I saw a very small soot trail on the driver's side up-pipe just under the donut gasket. Drove it around today and checked again, now I"ve got the pipe covered in soot and it's starting to collect on the firewall. Apparently I caught the leak right as it began, but it's getting worse fast.
So I need recommendations on new up-pipes. I'll be trashing the stock ones and looking for something better that won't be prone to leaking again. Hit me up with what you're running, price, why you like (or dislike) them, etc.
Thanks!

The bad part is that if they were going to leak, I wish it happened when I had the BTS installed. Would have been nice to take care of it then with the trans out.
So far everywhere I've posted this everybody has responded with getting the BWD pipes. Slightly overwhelming, eh? Hey good products speak for themselves, that's why I ask.

Perhaps start a thread in General Automotive if it's a long post and I'll see what I can do to help.
