Default SWRD turbo intake pipe. ..anyone using one?

As title, anyone using one, thinking about buying one instead of a new standard intake, I'm going to be fitting a vf35 and remapping my v3 type r due to worn standard turbo and I realised my standard intake is perished.....
I cant stretch to a new samco intake at the minute.

Cheers

I've got one on my v5, I provided the original intake for this one so a silicone replacement could be made. Fits pretty well and as to be expected is rather right. Performed fine on mine so far

That's good to hear, thanks for the input, bit gutted they aren't listing them in black.....

Sounds promising though

Well it's more than twice the price, not sure in which way it differs but obviously it's a tried and tested item...

Samco has steel wires running through to stop it collapsing under boost and also fits perfect. Just keep an eye on eBay or on here they normally come up cheap enough
