By eliminating the expansion and contraction of the rubber intake hsoe that occurs when accelerator ON / OFF either from rubber genuine change in pipe aluminum. This kit increases accelerator linear response during acceleration or when moving off idle.· There is an advantage that by preventing the body to improve the durability of the suction pipe, inherent in genuine, the crack of the hose, the less the exchange cycle. Uses vivid blue color hose connectors. It is the best for the dress-up of the engine room. · By changing the shape bend, you can reduce the intake resistance, I also helped in the response up. Silicon hose with excellent durability. Trade-in-mounting is possible with the hose genuine unmodified.
Try contacting them.

500 bones for that? I'm in the wrong business. LOL. I can't even understand the description. It look like it was running through Google Translator...a few times.
I wonder how it "increases accelerator linear response during acceleration or when moving off idle."? It's a piece of aluminum pipe. There's just I many things wrong with that, starting with the price....

I swear I was bout to post the same thing. This thing probably doesnt even do anything more then what the AVO/Zeta silicone tubes do. I would think metal/aluminum would get hotter easily then silicone. Absorbing more heat from the engine.

For 500 bucks it better come with free blow jobs for life.. thing probably cost less then 50 bux to make
