Samco is great but you need two separate pipes (one for the inlet and the other to be connected to the air box) i got samco and had the previllage of finding out the hard way and had to order the second one in

I think by memory avo is a one peice ( can anyone confirm this)..... but anything is better than the standard one ( unless you have the spec c inlet one)... I got a pic of the different sizes from wrx to spec c.. pm me your email address and i will send you the pic of them all

edit: deff not a 5 minute job unless you bust the old one off.... imo easier to undo the manifold to fit it in nicely

Cheers

Chris

only the perrin doesn't need the intake manifold removed.

I use a AVO one. From memory it was close to $500 for it????
I don't think there is a big difference between avo and a cheaper brand.

I was quoted $460 for AVO,

Just under 400 for a being looked after price ....

Paid $150 dollars for mine, can be had even cheaper on ebay, and there is NO difference at all in what it does.

No fundamental difference no, but there is a quality difference in the form of the amount of 'ply' it has.

Some of the uber cheap ones are only single ply .. Pay a little more and you'll get 3 maybe even 4 ply. Mine is 3 and it cost around $150 which is a good deal.
