Newage DV hose
 

Bought a samco intercooler hose set and fitted the Y pipe and the little stubby TB one, but have left the DV one for now as it looked a real arse to get off.

Any point swapping this out for the silicon one I have or would this one just be for looks?

Guessing if I want to swap it in future it's an intercooler off job to get to the other end of it?

No real point imho as this pipe just feeds air back into the inlet tract and into your induction hose therfore rarely fails.

Thought so, seems too much of a ball change for no real reason :p

Other pipes went on easy, still not had the chance to drive it yet since doing it!

I had exactly the same issue - I finally fitted the DV recirculation hose when the inlet manifold was off to change the fuel lines, no way it was coming off before then!
