How does a silicon hose increase horsepower?
Before and after test graphs please?!?

If that is the case i think ill fit a full set of hoses, that must be good for what - 50bhp right?

Or not.....

Increased horsepower by using one silicon pipe...?




















Seems legit.

This hose has a larger internal diameter than the factory inlet hose, as well as a smooth internal surface, rather than the ribbed surface of the factory hose. This results in more airflow, which increases the power, and improves throttle response. This hose also has internal metal support rings, so if you are planning on running a lot more power, you won't have to worry about this hose cracking or collapsing. Also, as with any Subaru modification, a tune is recommended for the most optimal power gains.

Fitting a lager turbine compressor will increase airflow. fitting a larger silicon hose will not.
all that hose may potentially do is make a very, and i mean very slight difference to any restriction that may be present in the OE hose.

i think your advertising is somewhat misleading, especially if you cant prove anything by providing before and after test graphs etc. but even then, you state you will need a remap to fit the hose so the results can be fiddled in your favour!?!

just all in my opinion of course...

Thanks for the reply, I understand the reasons for upgrading to a silicon version, which is why I have. I don't understand the reason for claiming power gains though...
Nobody really believes that it will increase power and i think it hurts the product and company credibility to make that claim.

Not trying to be an ****, just my opinion!

Thanks for voicing your concerns about this product. Our engineers have the testing data regarding this induction hose, and are working on compiling an engineering report to show the benefits of this hose. I will make sure to post up the report when it is finished.
