Is that the right part?

Mines a rubber hose and that looks like it's metal and powder coated black???

Yeah they just recently changed it to metal, I was just lucky enough they shipped the new one with my order

I WANT!

I wonder what the change does for the performance.
@CSG Mike thoughts?

Agh! - the wait kills. And I only ordered mine a few days ago! Glad to see the upgrade to a metal pipe.

Purely cosmetic

However, as "quiet" as Jackson Racing is, they are keenly sensitive to feedback from end users and on the forum.

I wonder if we can have the option to get this part....

I appreciate this and while I can only aspire to become an end user right now, may I openly suggest to @Jackson Racing that they switch all the visible hose clamps in the engine bay to black coated clamps, and switch the JR sticker on the charge pipe to one with a black background and white font for the text. It would look so much better in my opinion with those few simple color changes. I'm not a fan of the contrast those two items provide in their current colors (or lack thereof).

I talked to a Jackson rep at the scion event up in Tahoe. He said the new pipe was to allow more adjustability for the installer and to have more clearance. I think it looks much better.

Does the sticker come pre-installed? Or does the owner have the choice?

I agree with all this!

It's pre-installed. Personally, I like it and adds to starting conversations with folks at the meets.

Options would be nice, but it all comes at a cost to us and future purchases.
