It's just wrap around. It doesn't "replace" any pipes. Shit if you ask me.

No this isnt that tacky plastic stuff, this is actual tubing with no slits in it.

It's not even silicon. No where in the ad does he say it is. It's somekind of shitty plastic tubing that splits very easily.

I probably should have said from the start that I was duped into purchasing this shite. I paid the price, learnt the lesson, don't make the same mistake.

I've met the lad. He's younger than me and he's raking it in selling cheapo tacky induction kits and plastic tubing.

Honestly, it couldn't even be used for these "low temp" hoses as the temp under the bonnet splits it. Utter shite.

I even thought fuck it and used it for the vacuum on my dump valve on my R5GTT. Guess what, it split!!! On a fuckin vacuum line

It's up to you, mate. Just remember that the hose isn't "flexible" as stated. There's no give in it at all.

I can almost guarantee you'll be disappointed tbh.

Out of interest, what part of your induction kit are you planning on using it for? The thickest hose in the kit is 22mm.

Replacing the metal pipe for the induction kit. Ive got a flexi connector for fitting it to the throttle body so there will be some form of flex due to that

There's no way i'd replace a metal pipe with this cheap plastic shite. There's loads of genuine silicon elbows available on ebay.

personally i think you can only cover electrics with stuff like this, allthough as said that stuff looks crap! i've got the aprio kit on mine, comes with much more hose than this 6m kit,

also there isnt really any such thing as cheep shaped silicone hose unless you go for used ones

i used the apiro kit for mine, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/APIRO-CAR-ENGINE-HOSE-WIRE-COVER-KIT-10-METRES-RED_W0QQitemZ220098354965QQcategoryZ43118QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem but just covered the wires with it, and replaced the vacuum hoses with red silicone ones, I left the water hoses as the black standard ones and i feel it leaves enough contrast,

I bought 4 hoses from them and are excellent quality!

They were actually thicker than the samco ones i have and have not faded/split in the 8 months ive had them.

I ever ordered more for my oil breather tank
