Default Ok... so I want like 6 Samco hoses. Am I better off buying a whole set???

Or just buying the pieces I want/need. The y-pipe to turbo inlet hoses, and the 4 IC hoses.

I figure if I bought the whole thing I could sell off the F-Hose, and the TBB, and also the little bpv elbow hoses.

Any thoughts?

Finally, wheres the best place to get the good hose clamps?

Default waste of money IMO

I assume you're getting the Y-pipe to inlet samcos for looks? That pipe never gets pressure and doesn't require such a beefed up hose. The DV elbow and IC hoses would be nice to have since they are pressurized.

Default Just buy the upper hoses from ECS for $119 and repair your leak with a stocker .....

which I haven't priced before. IMO it would be nice to have all samco, but in all reality, the only hoses you can really see are the upper intake hoses. That's what I'm going to get, just those two in black. my .02 D

Default I have the two upper "Y" shaped hoses in black.............

I did not use them because they are shorter than the stock hoses, and didn't look like they would stay on very well. Make me an offer, and they are yours, but if I were you, I would stick with stock. (I will also throw in the 90 degree DV hoses.)
