I think the HKS Racing Suction kit comes with cast piping. Also, it looks like the Blitz SUS kit has its own pipes too.

thanks for the quick reply! It does sounds like they come with the hardpipes from the product description, but from the picture it looks like the blitz sus intake still uses the stock black hoses. Can someone please clarify this since I NEED to order both hardpips and intake for my car since one of the inlet hoses is ripped. Anyone??

oh and another thing that I noticed is that some pictures of the apex intake have some blue pipes attached and sometimes no, why is that?

only 2 that I can think of

The Blitz doesn't replace the rubber, it's just an adapter for the filter similar to the Apexi.

thanks for the replies guys! I think I'm going with the rx7fashion hardpipes and the apex intake, but I still have one more question - what are those blue pipings that comes with the apex intake? How come some pictures have them and some don't?

I believe most of the apexi kits come with the blue hardpipes or the grey ones. The blue is kinda nasty IMHO. I would rather have them polished etc. You could just try to make your own hardpipes. The stock rubber accordian pipes are pretty darn restrictive. I think the inside diamter is something like 1.5" very small. I need to make some custom hardpipes soon too.

I agree with you the hks race suction does look pretty good, but from the link above the picture only shows 1 piping (the upper one?), and I NEED to replace the primary turbo inlet hose which is the lower one...

...or does it come with 2 pipings? anyone?

My bad. My visual memory sucks.

Apexi hardpipes come with the FMIC kit, i think. Not sure if they come blued already or not. The regular intake kit comes with cast alum. things that clamp to the ends of your rubber hoses.

I hate the stock spring clamps. HATE HATE HATE.

Thanks.
