Is there any material differences between the various vendors for Silicone Intake Hoses?

I see HPS, Z1, and Mishimoto. Any fitment differences? Issues with any?

HPS claims a HP and Torque improvement.

Mishimoto claims to be heat resistant (provides cooler intake charge) - which SHOULD lead to hp/torque advantages at times.

Z1 - well they don't claim either.

But from the pics, all look identical.

Experiences - good and bad?

I've searched - and find only a couple of posts. I assume they are not too popular...

TIA

Edit: here in toasty Texas - my primary motivation is reduction in heat soak. Hence...it makes sense to me to utilize silicone as the intake hose material (compared to any type of metal and/or plastic). Thx

 

they are all the same. go with the cheapest.

 

+1..............

 

The oem tubes felt thicker to me, so not sure about better heat resistance. But there are ripples inside the oem tube, not smooth like the aftermarket stuff.

 

bump this

anyone know if they are all the same

 

All the same. Buy whichever one you can get cheapest

 

thanks ^_^
