Purple Pipes?

[Gazzab]

I have a standard 4.5 Red Rose but the purple pipes are now pretty collapsed and in need of replacement. I dont want to do induction mods (yet), partly as I want to keep the car standard and partly cos I havent had enough time with the car to see whether I feel I really need induction mod/remap.
So I would like to replace the pipes. I hoped there might be a few excellent condition sets lying around in peoples garages post remaps? Anyone know of a set? thanks...

Given the condition of the ones i've removed, and how they've a) collapsed, and probably collapse further under load b) discoloured, making a nice engine bay look untidy and finally c) two pipes had started to wear so much it appears a hole may have opened up had they been left any longer.

I'd be inclined to get the induction pipes. I'm really pleased with how they look, I too really wanted to keep the old ones to retain original looks, but they also show off the 'AJP' fuel rail and this looks very nice.

I would imagine you could simply fit the pipes without any modification chip (as yours is a RR) and it would have little noticeable difference, just pleasing aesthetics.

Oh, and I like the black on black, thought i'd miss the purple, but the black pipes on black air boxes looks lovely.

Might be worth dropping a hint to a few of the Guys who are buying new Whirlwind Induction pipes from the group buy off Joo. I am sure one of them will part with their pipes.

I'd offer mine, but to be honest, they're one of the reasons I'm replacing them! Hope you find some soon...

You could have mine as well, but to be honest there in such a poor condition i doubt wether they would survive the journey to you.

I have some almost mint ones in the loft. But I think new ones are quite pricey

Could do you 40% off the best new price you can find. They were on for a couple of months/500 miles or so and still fresh and purple..

No idea what a new price is. Saw some short induction pipes go for £104 or so on ebay last week. So assumed should be able to get some purples for about that sort of money in mint condition? But I assume 40% of new price is more than that....?

I had a set of purple hoses from TVR Power 2 years ago, Dom charged me £211.50 for the full set including vat.

I have suddenly had a flash back to the farm yard set adult film from years ago....
