$300 . . . that's the same rape as a dealership charging $100+ for the crappy AST.

So you need the intercooler 'S' pipe? Pipe is very cheap when found used.
I have an aluminium Re-Amemiya intercooler pipe set and OEM set that I don't mind parting with.

I've ordered from zena racing on their ebay store several times, quick shipping and never any issues.

This is a common problem due to the age of the hoses and the massive heat in the stock FD engine bay. I'd definitely recommend replacing them with hard pipe or the Pettit silicone hoses, any used oem pieces are on borrowed time.
