[BiturboS4] MTM Y-hose versus APR bi-pipe

[john sonty]

CF-

Adam is correct.. no more TBB needed with APR bi-pipe. I came
close to putting one on just for peace of mind but didn't want
to come up with the ~$300 (atleast that's what it was priced
last year.. I think..).

Sure enough after, damned TBB came loose--very noticeable loss
of power/boost.. But the dealer put on a new set of upgraded
clamps and no problem since.. Great product but waaay
over-priced, imho.. but then again, what isn't.. '-)  the best!
