Default What aftermarket turbo inlet pipes are u running??

As per title really, I'm currently looking at aftermarket silicone turbo inlet pipes and would like to hear about urs.


• What make are u running? Samco/viper/Perrin/eBay etc
• How much did it cost? Value for money?
• Build quality?
• Anyone problems with collapsing under boost?

Mine will be v3 inlet but happy to hear about the general picture no matter what version ur Subaru is.

Also if anyone has a good one for sale (v3) then give me a nudge.

Thanks Tim.

Scoobyworx's Range from SWRD. Im running one and it fitted really well.

Heard some of the older one's had fitment problems however everyone they sell now i've heard good thing's about

Mines on a V5 STI, Looks the part and the same quality as Samco at least

Am using a Viper one. No problems apart from needing a little trimming at both ends, but better than being too short.

The viper one seems like a good happy medium, getting decent reviews on quality and fitment and at a price that's reasonable.
Might take the plunge and get one ordered!!

Our SWRD range are made by viper but we do some alterations in ours in house to make them a perfect fit. Viper don't want to change tooling again but I needed some minor changes so I do them in house ours fit perfect where as vipers do require some trimming

ebay/toyosport unit here - clearly nowhere the quality of a samco/perrin/scoobyworx product as it feels rather flimsy and the fitment needed trimming and bracing. Still it's held up to the occasional high boost session (22+psi) without collapsing in on itself so I can't complain.
