doing sum research, i need a new inlet pipe due to a split,and rather then doing the job and refitting a crappy black plastic one, i want a nice easy to fit red one

i know samco do a pipe, but ive heard sum storeys about it collapsing under very high boost and genral shodyness

seen a perrin version (anybody in the uk stock these?)

BPM or sumthing (dont have any info on these)

GGR (belived to be samco ones re badged??)

anybody else or experiances of any of these?
read a few threads on 22b but it was mainly people saying the samco one is crap

 

believe the samco one has been improved of late micky.

BPM and AVO are same make, think scooby mania ad jap innovations sell these. I think you are correct re GGR one.

Also believe Roger Clarke sell one, but cant remember the make

Neither are easy to fit, due to fiddly ness.

They arent cheap either.

 

AVO for me from Jammie at www.J-W-Racing.co.uk as it is very good quality/fitment/price and replaces the hoses from MAF to the turbo unlike many other silicon hoses that replace only one factory part.
By the way it doesn't need unbolt of the intake manifold to fit it that is one more advantage, believe me!

roger clarke one is samco..
ggr is as well iirc.

samco have redesigned it so it doesnt collapse. AFAIK.

Scoobymania were the cheapest when I last looked.

 

cheers, will check the sites, the avo one only looks like it comes in blue

 

I have the sti one (circa £700 from Japan) nice red 60mm jobbie

However its provisionally sold - but if anything happens then who knows!!

 

£700 for a bit of silicone pipe!!!!!!!!!! holy **** mate!

you didn't pay that for it though did you steve???

 

If you are NOT running the MAF Sensor then I have one complete with large K+N.

 

Yes, but how will you get the OEM one out in one piece?

 

yhm

 

ST AYE,

If the 'yhm' is the answer to the out to get the OEM one out in one piece, then please can you send this info to me too.

Thanks

 

no it wasnt, it was to sell me a pipe

i dont need the oem one out in one piece as mines fecked anyway
ill just smash it out with a hammer

 

Jonny

No - but I did pay £600+!!

At the time the Samco alternatives were crap - as Christian Ruellan would confirm on his 2.5 litre.....

Bit like the issues with the Gruppe S crap - I wish I'd paid top dollar following the expense I incurred on this **** - and ultimately binned the crap and went for something that worked like H&S - I'm talking up-pipe..... and DONT talk to ME about fitting -practicalities and making sure the flanges were flat

Next project is to sort the stereo - for the 1st time ever I heard amazing Scoob system and by a fecking neighbour of mine - JBL 10inch jobbies that produced 800wrms each - and boy could you feel the bass....... heaven - Alan Macrea should ditch those ****tie JL Audios - these JBL Proline shobbies were amazing!!! - rant over

 

when was the new samco pipes revised?
is there a diffrent model number or sumthing?

 

Sorry this is impossible mate, you have to cut at least one piece of it!

Cant remember when Samco sorted their act out - though it must have been a tad embarassing for them

 

IIRC the Samco pipes retail at £199 and the MRT/AVO/BPM retail at £311. Lord knows what Perrin charge for theirs looks good though...

The Samco has improved of late and if you use a catch can you can lose all the pipes except the BOV return. This greatly improves any internal protrusions. It is stiffer now and less likely to collapse and can be modded to definitely not collapse easily.

The MRT pipe will only fit with an aftermarket induction kit unless you modify the std airbox position.

The Perrin pipe fits the standard air box and is much nicer than the Samco.

It looks to be a straight copy of the STi part

 

As long as it doesn't cost £700

I have a spare one if anybody need one pm for details

 

Are there any fitment differences for the inlet pipes between a classic 99/00 STI and a new-age WRX?

 

There's an MRT one for sale on the For Sale General Forum - last I saw he was bid £125 for it.

I'd post a link if I knew how.............!

 

Here's the link.

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?p=3568771

I'll take £175 for it

 

No one can tell me if they are the same for old/new cars? I am looking at the Perrin which is for the 02-04 WRX, but I am hoping to fit it on my STI 6... anyone?

 

sorry mate, i need a red one, and ive found a supplier of samco ones that can get me one in red for £149.99

 

StickyMicky,

Who is the supplier ? £149 sounds a great price for the inlet pipe.

 

rally design

 

dmross, the new age cars and Sti inlet pipe is better than than the classic by some margin. It 'should' fit straight on a MY99/00 car but may need the PS res to be moved. It isn't that much smaller than the Perrin and costs £76 for your local Scoob dealer. The downside is that the cost of moving the PS res, which I calculated at around £80 for the STi bits. Add the 2 together and you may as well buy the Samco!
