Problems with eBay polished intake pipes!
Hey guys, just a follow up on my intake that I put together...
I ordered the eBay polished pipes for like $60 and installed them with K&N filters.
The pipes are great, but I keep having the blue silicone couplings split due to high temps. I have already gone through two of them...
I just ordered two NICE red silicone reinforced couplings from Extreme Motorsports for $6.50 each.
Here is a pic of the intake before I installed it:
And heres a pic of the silicone hose I just bought to replace the shitty eBay silicone couplings:
Pretty much, if you buy the eBay kit, dont expect to use the silicone couplings!

Not to be a killjoy or anything, but I'd be leary of a silicon coupler that costs $6.50. High grade stuff like Samco (which will outlast the car) is like $12-15 a coupler at cost. I say this only because our cars put out intense heat, and you really want only the best. The last thing you need is something melting/splitting. Though I am surprised to hear of splitting on intake couplers considering the stock rubber ones last a fair amount of time before crapping out.

The RX7Store pipe DO fit perfectly!
