    I'd say the "con" is the pricing and everything else is a pro.

    I have the HKS set from Perfectrun

    About $460 delivered, cheapest I could get them when I really needed a set.

    They are polished alloy so lighter and will disperse heat better than stainless but don't look anywhere near as good. I would go the Caz ones if they were around when I needed a set.

    OK Rob, so where is the pic to back up your statement ;)

    Sorry Caz, I shouldn't encourage him. Maybe we should get Rob to halve his medication as a lead up to Coona.
    :p :p :p :p :p ;) ;) ;) :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

    Caz's SS hard pipe kit for TT's as requested :)

    [​IMG]

    They are 316 grade Stainless Steel, highly polished. Zero maintenance pipes. The 8 joiners are 3 ply 'Thermal Flex' reinforced turbo hose (75mm long each), the 16 hose clamps are 12mm wide German made 'Zebra' clamps, they have the rolled edge and no holes through the worm drive, perfect for Silicone.

    I have no doubt you can get cheaper pipes on ebay ect, thats not my thing. These are quality plus, built to my taste. Not to a price. They are $355(only on this forum) plus freight, I am using courier, that way they are insured, person to person delivery and tracking. Freight cost will vary depending on where you are.

    Red or blue joiners avail and will match the Thermal Flex vacc hose I carry perfectly..

    Caz.. :)

    no cons, if you use good clamps there are no downsides. The best quality

    kits I have seen are the ones smithy use to offer, these were by far 'the' nicest ones I have ever seen. Ab-flug pipes are also nice quality and the ones that Caz just got made up also seem to look well made.

    nothing at all, they are cosmetic only. The hype about the stockies

    expanding etc is just all theory. I have never seen proof that hard pipes or silicon pipes give an increase in performance. The stockies will expand but not enough to decrease performance or air flow.
