Samco Hoses
Quick question, does the samco hose improve airflow over stock? or is the stock hose well designed already?

I have used Samco in the past with other cars, and installed the Alta silicone hoses on this car. I think it helps but maybe minimal gains?

Very little if any gains, but it does look good!

They look great.
But I removed my black samco and put oem during a tuning session, tuner said I'd get better results with oem.

Any reason that he said that howsoonisnow1985 vbmenu_register("postmenu_3058790", true); ?
Do they make the supercharger whine any louder?
