Bought me a Compressor Inlet Hose by APR.

After reading an interesting debate between the APR &amp; Neuspeed hoses over on AZ, I went with the APR.

Mainly for price($159) and the APR hose is renforced with an internal wire. Where as the Neuspeed hose is not.

Default Good choice, my Neuspeed TIP of just under two years has gone very soft at the elbow joint...

Now as I understanding from reading the debates, the APR hose has fitment issues. Can you confirm or deny this when you install it - thanks.

Default Nice choice. Thats what I have. It works awesome, but its a PITA to install...

There isn't a lot of flexability to it so it will take some time and patience to work everything on to the hose.

Default some day....some day...someone will get a TIP right...lol.

JJ's is nice but expensive and difficult to source...there are other choices but one would hinestly think that a silicoane hose couldnt be that hard to get right.
