Default yup...hands down

Depending on which one you choose, can look OEM and has perfect fitment. What more could you ask for?<ul><li><a href="http://www.hoppenmotorsport.com/yhose.htm">http://www.hoppenmotorsport.com/yhose.htm</a</li></ul>

Maybe the OEM look is worth it to him and no parts to fall off into your intake.

Default Yea, that's what their doing. Selling the OEM hose for $300 and calling it special...

Not. It's made in the factory mold and has kevlar sandwiched in the rubber instaed of wrapped around the outside.

Functionally does the same thing as the bi-pipe but this looks OEM.

Default STOP THE INSANITY!!! :)

first of all - WHY do you think you need it on a 2002 car? TBB used to rupture on MY 2000 cars and the issue was addressed with new clamps on early MY 2001 cars.

I wouldn't put APR bi-pipe while still under warranty simply to not give Audi an excuse should an issue arise

Default at 35,000 on early 2001, my TBB had no signs of rupture whatsoever

found this out when I put on the AMS TBB.
