Silicone Intake Pipe
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)
