lol, i bet. i've seen your setup on cardomain for the past couple years...SLICK!

I can only find the "non-ribbed" universal intercooler piping and i don't trust ebay anymore...been ripped off too many times by poorly made parts

Federal Hose holds freaking tight.



I bought all mine from a local hose shop ( EVCO House of Hose ... that's "hose" not "hoes" ) for about $1.50 to $3.00 per foot. Most silicone IC couplers will hold tight though even w/o a ribbed pipe end.
