Message and, if you have boost leaks or want to hold higher boost, then you actually DO gain HP. I certainly don't advertise them as "HP adders", in my opinion, if your car's vac/pressure system is tight, they are purely a cosmetic upgrade; however, if you are replacing old OEM boost hoses because of brittle ends or plans of running much higher boost, then these are a good option. With that, if you are shooting for the cosmetic upgrade only, it seems prudent to use polished aluminum versus either a) chrome or b) polished stainless steel. With that, the only other kit I'd consider is Smithy's, and in both cases, I think you pay for what you get.

Thanks,
SS
