Just something stronger & better than the OE hose that is starting to fail over time...

Emre, et al:
That MAF to airbox hose isn't pressurized, so you don't really need 1"
thick carbon kevlar stainless unobtanium piping.

I've tried really hard to get Samco to cooperate and the lack of interest and customer service pushed me towards SFS to see what they can do. It's been what a month or so? waiting of Samco to respond and give me a quote (back and forth with measurements, and calling and e-mail begging for a response, it got a little ridiculous chasing them..., they finally came back and they are $20 USD more expensive than SFS per hose, although there tooling costs are slightly lower.

I will base costs on getting 20 confirmed. If everyone wants Samco, then costs will be higher, and probably the wait... but you all know that!
