Good to know and thanks for posting back. I may make a switch to the Z1's or the Mishimoto's. The other day I happened to open up the hood after driving and grabbed the HPS tubes, they were super hot!!

Glad to hear it! This weekend ordered them. Why the shipping to Europe takes so long time?

Can anyone tell me what the diameter of the Z1 tubes are? Mishimoto has this on their website:

Inner Diameter
Hose 1: 2.70"
Hose 2: 2.70"

Outer Diameter
Hose 1: 3.0"
Hose 2: 3.0"

Just curious if there really are any differences...

Don't feel too bad I had a hard time trying to get them to fit too because they were challenging to bend. I ended up just unbolting air boxes and fitting the tubes in both ends then pushing the whole intake back into the socket so I could bolt the box back in place. The tubes were a perfect fit and required no trimming but they were just a pain in the a$$ to bend.

the outside is going to be hot no matter what. It's the inside that matters.

True... but they just seem a little thin to me but the above post about the intake temps is good to know...
