What make are they? Don't recognise the logo?

I reckon the other hoses would look better purple as well, now?

They are nothing special, tt racing they are called.

Few people on civiclife got em and they hold up well :)

Yeah I was thinking that when I was fitting them, once the boost pipes are all welded up solid they will only be in the throttle body and the intercooler so I might get a purple one for the TB.

You've got to be contacting Zircotec about your exhaust manifold soon right?...

Don't even know who they are, but maybe ;)

I doubt the eBay one that's in it will hold up for any great length of time lol.
They can't take over 280bhp so it will be useless soon anyway, she wants a top mount manifold so if Zircotec can make one up I may give them a call when the time is right.
