yeah

Rhyso might wanna elaborate more on the technical bit

I think you will find that new intercooler pipe delivers much better air flow for better efficiency and the new pipe wont kink etc

 Also these pipes tend to split when old  :smiley:

isn't the whole point of the silicon hoses for the increased cooling, eg the silicon is better at cooling the air than the abs plastic?

i think its a combination of both those things.  In all honesty i'm not entirely sure but upgrading tired, old pipework for nice shiney new stuff is all good.  And at less than half the original purchase price, i wasn't going to say no  :wink:

now, does anyone have an idea of how easy they are to fit...... :huh: :laugh:

What sort of performance increase would you get from one of these?

Also someone should tell that ebay seller to sort his pants out :lipsrsealed:

should hold the boots pressure for longer i believe and shouldn't split like the OEM pipe tends to do
