Please shed some light so i can place my order.

No, this is IC only. We don't typically replace the pipes, for we've seen no performance gain in doing so.
The Fujita is a nice piece, but it's a bit notorious for its smaller than stock tube size, which throws the MAF sensor calibration out in left field...essentially, the car thinks its experiencing much more airflow than it really is, leading to over-rich fuel mixtures and possible issues with the airflow readings exceeding acceptable thresholds. We swear by the stock airbox with a K& N filter and some other lowbuck mods such as removing the acoustic silencer. Search the threads here and at solstice forum for stock airbox mod ideas!
