Default Silicone Intake Pipes

Just spent a few hrs searching both PWRX and nasioc forums for some advice on this subject.

I'm looking for any guides for fitting / performance gains & dynos.. just looking for anything in general about silicone intake / induction pipes for WRX's.

Stock vs Aftermarket
Ebay vs Known brand


Seems we need a guide on this forum for picking and fitting one.

I'm keen to help if this hasn't been done, if it’s been done then please delete this thread or point me towards any guides for fitting and or picking one.



I'm personally looking for one that will fit my MY01 Bugeye with stock TD04 turbo but will also fit either a TD05 or VF34 down the line, I think any OEM designed silicone pipe will fit perfectly but I’m not 100% sure.

I'm interested in one for the simple fact that mine has a small crack in it that’s been fixed with electrical tape... Don’t ask.. I have no idea WTF the last owner was thinking.

At the same time if I get an aftermarket silicone one I want to know if it'll be higher flowing and if it will give me a power gain or if it's just going to be stronger and more reliable than my stock one.


Cheers and as stated above if this is easily found on this forum I'm sorry I’ve been going crazy looking for information.


An example I've seen "ebayspec"
