I have one welded up I can sell if anyone wants it, along with the silicon part for the turbos.

That duct looks like it would work well for brakes!

It would, light and strong. Smooth inside.

I tried to do this as the Markski pipes are over priced despite his objections.. I never found a suitable solution and Markski doesn't sell the soft pipes separate. I wound up buying a set of Markski pipes second hand for $400 but there are no markings on the tubes so I still can't find them. They are 2.5 inch. I was going to try this but found the used pipes before I did: http://www.cleancraft.com/50ft-Vacuu...vh-c5025bl.htm
best, Markksi ps. the money is in intake part... https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...fff0c8da8d.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...34fdd91484.jpg |
It is a beautiful part for sure. Maybe more than it needs to be though.

This is what I used on my last setup, $250 for this stuff. The tubes are racecar canvas stuff, very strong. I put conduit and pvc tape around it to prevent rubbing. It worked well. The tubes aren't very smooth inside, the grey ones are much better. It is a bit heavy, Markski's part is feather weight compared to mine though, I am glad I got it for 400. :)

I'm manufacturing them and to date I've sold at least 300. Most clients by other parts and or tuning and I always hook them up. But it is made in America per order one off and my fabricator gets real wages :) |
Thx for all your imput guys. After a little searching i found a company which sells tubings in all variations. I will order one there.

As I mentioned, to fabricate that aluminum intake takes time and money. I tried various hoses years ago and ended up with this this. It's 2.5" ID , pretty smooth, and bends well. Haven't had any issues due to heat. Take a knife it will rip but the purpose is to install it once and move on. |

With all due respect, it costs me more then $400 to make the kit let alone sell it for that.. try to make the aluminum intake with a fabricator, I bet you will be at $800 just for that part. I do offer an immense amount of support and help to my loyal clients but at the same time I am not the Red Cross. best, Markksi ps. the money is in intake part... |

Any update on this? Would love to hear what you bought, experience with installation and performance so far. |
I will use these. https://www.shp-primaflex.com/de/pro...maflex-uni-m9/

I had the soft steel spiral reinforced tubing on my car for 40K miles and 12 years. Looked a little rough on the outside but was still fully functional. I switched to the 1/4" thick hard plastic 2.75" ID tubing. It's bullet proof but requires an engine drop for the install. Even with that it's a pain to install and get the alignment perfect but it's well worth it in my opinion. If your engine is coming out I'd do the hard tubing if not the soft tubing is well proven..

The blue grey tubing is tough an it is the smoothest inside. After installing Markski's parts I've come full circle. I think it is worth it. It fits perfectly and the weight savings are significant. Really nice setup.
