That's not why I did it, and I won't ever find out if it did... supposedly it helps but I don't really care either way
As long as it doesn't hurt my car... lol

Samco doesn't sell them... only J's. So that's JDM enough for me

I'm going to have to pull out my radiator hoses, model paint them green, and put mugen stickers on them to join the JDM club now.
Nice job dude. Not something I'll pursue for sure, you've got that unique factor now!
Not that those LED tails won't do the same thing. Hotness.

Nice nice. I saw those on J's Racing's website a few days ago and was wondering if anyone had done it, and if there was any kind of performance (ie longevity) benefit. Let us know how they work out for ya!

Got my hoses installed yesterday... Look great and helped with throttle response. Car is more "with it." Less lag between gas pedal going down and boost building..........
The reason I knew the HP increase b/c I used to have the WRX before the TSX.
