I myself did consider the t3 kit. But my preference leaning towards the clean oem look of the rschita or a pieced tohether kit. The other factor was external piping which i wanted to stay away from as the possibility of introducing leaks into the system was likely. Consider it preventive maintence.

Also not quite sure ehat or where yout spending close to 1k on the kit, cause i certainly didnt. Also paid quite substanially less than the t3 kit.
