Default They don't deteriorate and crack like rubber.....>>
Cracked hoses and resultant boost leaks can be a PITA to track down sometimes..

Default Yeah, we do, but CoTTrane's kinda on the money....>
You'll get no performance advantage as such, better looks for sure. The long term advantage due to them not deteriorating is a benny..

Default Re: ;-)....Nice Silver TT
Steve Schwing's TTDA is a good place to start if you don't already have one....A Silver BulleTT will not only out-perform the stock air intake but look great in your engine bay.
Peace.
