Default WRX intercooler pipe options

Looking for a silicone intercooler Y hose for my Blob WRX (stock intercooler). Anyone got any recommendations? Seems like my options at the moment are:

Full mishimoto kit (expensive)
Cheap Chinese copy (may be no better than stock)

No used Prodrive ones for sale at the moment and I understand the STI pipes need modifying to fit, can anyone confirm how much work is involved? Otherwise there's this aluminium STI hose with silicone elbows that looks pretty adjustable.

Thanks.

I've bought and run several viper performance hoses, not y pipes, but if they are made the same as the others, they are good quality.

Thanks, but I ended up biting the bullet on the mishimoto kit. Ordering through their site gave me a 5% reduction which was slightly easier to stomach
