Are you talking about the tube from the filter to the throttle body or the one from the grill to the filter?
There are a couple of vendors that offer silicone tubes from the filter to the throttle body. Really don't need the other one, just open up the back of the intake box to the cowl area.
Neither, i'm talking about the black tube that houses the Bypass valve, attaches to the Supercharger itself and the throttle body attaches to it as well
it also on one occasion chewed a hole into whatever it rubbed on. it was just louder than stock and i dont reacall a whole lot of gains.
Mostly cause it was metal and prone to heat soak.

I know guy's that have the AGS, if installed wrong they will rub. And the heat soak myth, well some people also say the intakes with metal boxs also heat soak, Alta, DDM, ect. ect. But this really never has been proven. If anything the AGS would have less heat soak than this style intake. Plus, oh the sound the AGS makes, wow nothing sounds like a AGS. They still show up in the market place now and again
Im pretty postive that heat soak is not a myth.
But hey if it is id love for you to submit a video of you pressing a pan to your face just after you cooked something in it.
I have the DDM, It will heat soak. Ill even make notation to prove it via scangauge.
You could always ask Big Howe about what hes data logged on his car.
He is very methodical when it comes to data logging.
And i would love to hear the AGS

I remember this all was brought up ages ago. Yes the box obviously gets hot, but they, not sure who it was?, were saying the air spends so little time in there that it really does not effect the temps. Dinan was in on this as their CAI is plastic and thats what they sold it on. But if you guy's have the data then......? PS. Randy from M7 had a video of his AGS, it was sweet I could probably dig it up for you?

Reason: dig, not did
had? had? Oh he needs to bring that back with style...
Hi this is peeeta from M7... Love it.
as far as air spending little time in there.
Probably right.
I just have the evidance that the scan gauge says i have elevated intake temps after sitting in traffic for a while. the generaly take a long time to go down as opposed to my friends jcw box.
Will i go dump 360 bucks to fix it. Not hardly
I love my sound. and honsestly thats what an intake is for this car. Sound.
You guys have taken this all out of proportion. I am not after the AGS, I am just after the tube as I think mine has a crack in it and I was just trying to see if someone has made an aftermarket one before I buy a stock OEM one

If anyone wants to bring it back more power to them. Just looking at the pictures here should give you some idea why we gave it a shot in the first place . The stock plastic piece is very restrictive and places the TB at a bad angle . We opened up the path a good deal and as you can see in that one photo the mouth to the SC is " looking " straight at the back side of the TB mount. Throttle response was greatly improved and as you can tell from the two short clips it does make a unique sound. The down side is that install was really tough and getting the replacement pipe in perfectly was hard as well. It took me a couple of times to get it 100 % and I am not touching it ever again . The two short clips from California Speedway give you another idea how it sounds wound up
