    looks pretty cool....but i think many will say that it will get wrecked pretty quick its its cheap.....you get what you pay for kinda thing.....but i still find it hard to belive that these hoses are a few hundred bucks..

    Thanks i checked that out earlier, only 1 bad feedback brought it down.. The other buyers seemed to be pretty happy. I figure You'd have to do something pretty rough to damage hoses, he seems to sell a lot of skyline bits which could easily get damaged..
    Might wait to see if someone has actually got some off him

    Where are the clamps?? Don't forget to factor them into your cost as there are clamps and then there are clamps. The high quality stainless stuff like caz for example sells with her kits is expensive...

    Also no mention of how thick is the silicone? How many layers? People pay top dollar for brand name four ply stuff for a reason. Not saying this is shit but it may well be so make sure you ask the seller before you buy.

    His other kits look like bok-choy crap so be careful. I really love this from his hard pipe kit "This Kit Offers up to 40%-60% increased air flow compares to standard bent piping" -Really???? So why doesn't this translate into improved HP????????

    Anyways you get the idea. I'm always sceptical of this stuff. If there's nothing wrong with your stock pipes I would suggest you save your money until you can afford some high quality brand name stuff. A vacc leak on one of these pipes will make your car run like an absoloute dog.

    hey people,
    Can i please get some thoughts on these intake pipes?
    I need to replace mine and these seem like a pretty good deal but i'm a bit skeptical of buying products from overseas on ebay, even though its an australian account.. Has anyone actually bought these?

    Your better

    off spending extra, those ebay intake hoses look like they may collapse when hot, anything under reinforced 4 ply is a waste off money.

    lol damn no offence but they do look a little outa place :eek: only saying cuz i have a stock engine bay as well and want some, but from that i think i would need some other bling to go with it :zlove:

    but still looks better than stock :cool:

    yeah, I agree but my stock rubber hoses were split. I nearly got black ones and kinda wish I did. It doesn't look nearly as bad in the flesh though. I don't really care too much for blinging up under the bonnet. I'm too lazy to keep it clean.
