Need to get a new set as mine have had it, have been looking at either a set of hard pipes or silicone ones. Is there any difference in power gains or are they about the same?

Dan at DTA is your man to ask about this :) However i am pretty sure there is no difference in power between the two. I believe the silicon ones could collapse under extreme circumstances, however i have never heard of that happening. The hard pipes cannot do that, however they are about twice the price.

 

If i were you i would speak to Danny that is what i did and i got some great advice. Also just to mention that the silicon that Dan provides is much better than the Samco ones or the ebay jobbies, as Dan's are pure silicon with no fillers and they are 5mm thick, compared to Samco which is 3mm thick.

 

HTH :)

Thanks for that glowing recommendation Isaak! :) :duffer: coming your way next time we meet! ;)

 

Right, to disband the myth straight away - there is absolutely no power gain to be made from replacing the stock intake pipes with either silicone or hard pipes.

 

As for prices, yes the mirror polished stainless steel hard pipes are a lot more expensive but you will never need to replace them and they will never collapse in on themselves under heavy load. The silicone ones we do are 4-ply PLUS a liner of 1mm so you're getting a structurally superior product compared to 99% of the other ones available on the market.

 

Prices:

 

Hard Pipe Kit (with silicone couplers in either red/blue/black/yellow): £240

Silicone Kit (in red or blue / yellow or black by special order): £125

 

Shipping costs on either of these will be around £11 via courier or £19 via Special Delivery.

 

As these are fabricated to order please expect 10~14 days delivery time.

 

All kits come complete with stainless steel fixing bands.

 

Please let me know if you require any further information.

 

Best regards,

 

Dan
