Think you`ll only get em from ACT.


Recommend you buy one and cover it with heat resistant "tube" (Tim will tell ya better!). Looks okay and helps against the heat from manifolds....

It is acording to Mark Adams, when he was setting up my car last week, he said it is definiatly a worthwhile mod, coupled to his AFM £195.00 it can give you as much as 15 BHP.
The cost of all the pipe work, clips, and a heat shield from ACT was £137.00 inc vat.

We did originally supply them in various colours, but the manufacturers now need large quantity orders of any one colour, we are talking Pallet loads!! when the huge majority want black, another problem the coloured hoses were the same black material with a coloured sleeve which tended to fade with time, i always thought that black looks better, giving an original look.
