Do replacing the Turbo pipes for hard pipes increase performance in any way? or are they just for show?

practically theyre made to replace the rubber ones which can perish and crack over time - leaking boost.

...and they look rather good too ;)

Mostly for show but there are some benefits too:

 

(1) no expansion or contraction when under heavy load - meaning a constant air flow

(2) no chance of leaking other than via the supplied silicone couplers

(3) if you get our proper stainless steel pipes you'll never have to replace them ;)

 

The above benifits are similar for the stainless steel radiator pipe kits we supply. Especially the lower pipe is prone to collapsing in on itself when under heavy load.
