I know that I/C and turbo inlet hoses are supposed to make a bit more power. How much more power? What about the samco maf? just for show? What are the benefits of radiator hoses and the 9 piece samco set?
Thanks,

They make minimal power. . .maybe 5-10 if they're tuned. The whole point is to smooth out the air flow. The turbo inlet hose did help with spool up and throttle response on my car though. As for the Samco MAF hose, that is there to smooth out air flow as well as it replaces the accordian piece between the intake box and turbo inlet hose. The radiator hoses and 9-piece set are mainly for reliability/durability issues. The stock hoses should be fine for a while, but most people replace them either for looks or when they're stock hoses need replacement.

Not to mention, they're easier to work with than the stock hoses.

You can get black (stealth like) samco hoses too, if you don't want to risk voiding your warrenty! :banana:

 

Would somthing like new I/C hoses void the warranty?

 

dealers can void with any kid of engine mods.

 

yeh. i guess that sounds about right...
if you are gonna get some hoses, you should go for brand names. there is a difference.

 

go black for sure...looks super clean...
