Alta vs. Samco intake hose

Is there any difference between the two? ID, fitment. Any comments would be appreciated.

Anybody?

I'm just looking for how well they fit. I remember hearing that the Samco needs some trimming to get right. Is the Alta any better? Owners of either of these hoses, please comment.

I have the alta and did not have to trim it.

Never had the Alta, but i've been running the Samco Sport hose for a while now. It did need a little trimming on the airbox side.

I have the Samco and it is great. It does require a little trimming, but not that much. I got mine for $50 from a local speedshop who ordered it for a customer and could not contact him for a few months.
