just bought one of these for my blobeye and although it has the metal rings in the openings which make it really strong the middle bit of the pipe squashes really easy.is this normal or have I bought a bodge it and scarper special

 

Asked samco direct. Few on Facebook that answer questions quicky.

 

not on face**** matey

i thought the whole idea of these upgraded pipes was that they hold their shape under pressure

 

Yes thats normal.

 

just seems a bit pointless really

 

Yes and no. It smooths out the flow as the o/e one is corregated. Depends also why its being fitted. I upgaded to one without any breather pipe inlets on it. I could have just bunged the holes up. But a much nicer/better job with a hose designed for the job

 

was just expecting a bit more stiffness really

 

Unless you're running mega boost then it'll not collapse, there is no pressure in that pipe only the turbo sucking air through it.

 

as above and if it did collapse its likely its the filter rather than pipe. If the turbo cant suck enough air through the filter it will then start to collapse the pipe

 

to be honest i think i might just flog it

 

why were you going to fit it? If its just for the sake of it not really worth it

 

was a spur of the moment thing "i know i will buy one of these as they are a good upgrade that i need"

 

Lol have been there lol

 

god-damn subaru ownership

 

How much you wanna sell it for, pm me i could be interested in it.
