So my OEM hose has a tear, (to the left of the battery) not enough to cause a boost leak and I wanted to replace it with hard piping because I will be getting a tune soon. I'm just curious to why all of the upper intercooler piping costs $250+. Any recommendation that's affordable and reputable? Thanks in advance.

 

Most reputable are all going to be reativley the same and close in price as well.

Take your pick...

Buschur

Never heard anything but good things, and parts are super reasonable

 

Unbelievable how they could retail a steel pipe for $300-$400. Ill just find myself a welder.

I have a vrspeed upper and lower "short route" good piece.

Doesnt come with one of the couplers but i made it work with stuff i had laying around.

Pretty stupid cheap is why i bought it.

 

and great quality

 

A lower coupler isn't included since most intercoolers use different style couplers depending on the configuration.

 

There's someone selling a used set in the FS thread.
