eBay.co.uk: Audi TT Golf Beetle VW silicone induction intake pipe (item 290062609566 end time 25-Dec-06 10:03:51 GMT)

Anyone got one, alot cheaper then the forge and samco products, anyone know of the quality, will it fit an octy rs, would think it would etc, appreciate any advise

Looks about right. If it's that "cheap", personally I'd be wondering what the quality was like.

If I were you mate, I'd bite the bullit and go for the English one. That way, if you have a problem you can at least have the pleasure of watching their building burn down!

For different reasons I'd have to agree! :orb_angel

Read the feed back on some of the cheap silicone Chinese kits, quite a few said that the quality was not too good but what can you expect if half the price, you may well find that they are worse than what you take off if they only have single ply reinforcement rather than the 3, 4 or ply from Samco and Forge....for the extra £40 or so if you shop around you may as well buy the UK Ones. TBH if you look at amberperformance thay are doing the Samco ones ( on backorder which is currently 6 weeks) for about £90 incl delivery

quoted from manufacturers website...

We import silicone materials same as famous brands Samco and SFS, we are manufacturing same quality hose as they do.

It is a silicone rubber construction with smooth wipe down finish. Temperature range -50°C to 220°C. Thickness = 4 / 5mm with 3 / 4 mesh Polyester or Nomex layers to enable high pressure than original rubber hose does.

It is excellent resistance to UV, water, ozone and oxygen. Reinforcement is made with Polyester or Nomex.
