Pros:
|
Very well built hoses
|
|
Cons:
|
Coupler does not fit
|
|
The hoses are well built. The only complaint I have with this product is the coupler, which will not go on the intercooler where it connects to the throttle body. I tried baking the little bugger, but it did not work. Perrin was very helpful, and say that they will help me resolve the issue.

Get these hoses, these are awesome
i didn\'t know that just by eliminating the old stock hoses, and reducing the eddies in the hoses that the turbo sounds better and the exhaust also sounds stronger!

I only installed the y-pipe, and the intercooler to throttle body tube (because the dealership trashed my stock one and broke the hose clamp... gotta love that) - both went on easily and seem to do their job.

Pros:
|
smoother air flow, better throttle response, well built hoses
|
|
Cons:
|
getting the hoses to slide onto the turbo/intercooler . . . it was a P.I.T.A. !
|
|
This was a great add to my car. my throttle response is alot better and the airflow seems smoother. it can just be a pain to install at some points . . .

Pros:
|
inexpensive-performance gain with no drawbacks-high quality-nice colors-easily installed
|
|
Cons:
|
hard to get y-hose to slide on; also, but this is perhaps a singular issue, I wasn\\\\\\\'t able to get the recirculating hose on because the clamp on the stock hose was unreachable and could not be removed
|
|
cheaper than samco and vishnu but just as good-highly recommended must have upgrade

Pros:
|
Heavy duty, improved throttle response.
|
|
Cons:
|
Difficult to install, one end of the hose was too long
|
|
The hoses are of good, heavy duty construction. I noticed improved throttle response. Boost comes on sooner. I think I may have fixed a boost leak that the factory hose may have had.
On the other hand, one side of the y-pipe was about 4 inches too long. It was also a real PITA to install, partly because the y was too long, but also, the inherent nature of installing hoses. I kept bending fins on the I/C.
I did not notice an increase in any noises, BOV, spool up or otherwise. Not sure why one would as I would think the heavy 3-ply construction would insulate better than the cheap-o plastic stock jobber.
Not too bad of a piece for the price, however, I think they should just sell the Y, as I could see no benefit in replacing the other two hoses. The T/B hose is pretty heavy, as is the BOV hose.
