i am after one of these that goes form the air filter to the turbo for my02 sti but they all range in price from £50-£250 is there any difference in the pipes or just the suppliers charging what they want?

 

Perrin or Scooby Clinic's own. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Others - inc. the £200+ Samco, strangely! - can suffer collapsing.

 

I suffered with the collapsing issue on my 400bhp+ bug, and that was with a well respected brand, I wont name them as they were very good with issuing me a refund. I have a Perrin one on there now, its solid as hell so no chance of collapsing at all, but it will set you back £200+.

 

I bought one from Lateral in Watford, £185+vat.Re-inforced so reduces risk of collapse. Mark there is the chap to talk to buddy. ( He might even do a cash deal in the region of £160)

 

as long as it re-inforced it should be ok tho im guessing?

 

Samco are expensive , but been around for donkeys and used by a fair few Motorsport teams.

 

Well there's a company near me called knight racer and they do one for 65 plus vat where as perrin is 265 i don't understand the price difference?

 

My Samco one collapsed, have replaced it with a SFS one now

 

I use the eclipse one at 429 bhp been fine so far think I paid £65

 

how much was your sfs one?

 

I have an SFS on mine but want to change it for a blanked one as I have no need for the take offs.

 

When get to what BHP would you guys advise you replace the OEM one

 

Gava - I have a Perrin one that i didnt use in my garage that i'd be happy sell on.

Its the 3" version though so may not be suitable for you, but let me know via pm.

This is the one

Dont want any money for it, just pay the postage or pick it up for free.
