Ebay intake hoses - feedback?

Hey guys,

My OEM intake hoses have seen better days, anyone have any feedback on these:

There are other silicon intake hoses on ebay, anyone have experience with them, how's the fit and quality?

Cheers,

Ive got some brand new unfitted if you want to have a look at them

 

Ive got the same ones. I actually took 3 of them off because they didnt fit as good as stock. I wasnt convinced.

I went back to stock for 3 of them.

 

I've seen a few of these in person and they look ok. Tonto could vouch for these as he bought a set and seems pretty happy with them. I've dealt with ASI on another product and had an easy transaction, just to add for the hell of it.

 

When you consider the cost you simply cant go past them in my opinion. I've heard of some people getting ones that are too long or too short however my set have fit perfectly and the silicon seems well made, not too thin but not too thick. Get yourself some T-bolt clamps and they'll do well as a stock substitute.

 

Are you selling them Stu, or are you waiting to chuck them on?

Wow. As in they were too short?

Interesting, sounds like they're a bit of hit and miss.

I've been ok with the asi silicone pipes. Using them for the intakes and the 2 radiator hoses.

And I have "Auto Silicone Hose" pipes for the single BOV conversion, which seems to feel like thicker and better silicone, but they don't have 300zx specific piping

 

Waiting to put them on

 

They fit

fine on my car, value for money imo.

 

Fit fine for me, neither too long nor too short. And 1 million times easier to take on/off than stock.

 

you can buy my genuine stillens for not much more with hose clamps

 

Now there's an offer not to be missed!

 

I bought a set of ebay from someone based in sydney . 1 did not fit. After contacting seller and being told it was impossible i sent him photos of original and new one showing the large difference in the length. The one supplied was 2 inches short and easy to see it would not ever fit.He just plain refused to except it was incorrect.In the end i gave up , thinking Karma will bight his sorry arse. DO NOT BUY SILICONE INTAKE HOSES OFF EBAY FROM SYDNEY. That said i have known people that have bought off A.S.I and they have fitted o.k . So give A.S.I a go.

I found the same issue, drivers side turbo> cooler, so I cut it in two and added a pipe section to extend it.

 

I got a set, they fit fine. I made them a "best offer" and saved myself $20 over what they were asking

 

I had the same issue as Dave, one hose slightly too short - it's sitting on the edge of the pipes and isn't going to budge with clamps holding it tight!

 

Mine are same as beavers and came with clamps. Got the set from some random hong kong based seller. Fit fantastic, had to twist and turn a bit to get it straight and bingo.

eBay isnt that bad
