Spectre Performance 8741 Black 3" Air Duct Hose

I purchased this air duct hose to replace a snorkel hose on a TJ Jeep as the original air duct hose from the snorkel fitting to the air box was old and had disintegrated. This replace has been installed now for several weeks and works as expected. I would purchase this again.

Used it as an air duct for my CTS V, works like a charm

These ducts are an excellent replacement for the 2 air intake tubes on the V8 M278 engine.The adaptors supplied shape accordingly and fit perfectly with their original plastic insert ends of the vehicle.Both ends are air tight and secure fit on these adaptors.A perfect replacement.

Me gusto mucho el material, al pedirlo pensé que iba a ser delicado y frágil, pero al recibirlo se siente perfecto y me funciono perfecto para mi proyecto.

If you have a W212 E class with a M157 engine, you've no doubt stared in disbelief that MB has put flimsy fabric tubes under the hood, now torn in a bunch of places thanks to the simple act of trying to get your oil filter out. Well, I'm happy to say that this plastic tube and couplers are pretty much a prefect fit to the OEM plastic connector pieces and a great replacement. Not only is this a fraction of the price of an OEM replacement that will probably rip in another couple years or so, it looks 1000x better.As others have noted, due to the terrible packaging, one of the couplers will arrive squashed and deformed. No worries, either pop it in a 300 degree oven for a few minutes, or run your heat gun over it for a bit and it will not only pop back to a circular shape, but also become pliable enough to slide over the OEM plastic coupler pieces. As it cools, it'll mold nicely to the plastic. It was such a tight fit that I didn't even bother gluing it down or clamping it. I think I spent more time and effort tearing out the old fabric tube off of the OEM connectors than actually molding and putting the new coupler and tubes on it.You'll need one set for each side, although I only used about half of the length of tubing. I've seen pictures of what others have done and it looks great, but I hesitated for a while before buying this, wondering if I could replicate similar results since I don't have bodywork experience or tuning experience or anything of that caliber. But really, all you need is an oven (or heat gun), some needle nose pliers to help remove the old fabric tubing pieces off of the plastic couplers, and scissors and in about 30 minutes, you'll have replaced your torn fabric tubes with these plastic parts that look factory.One big worry was how it would perform in a hot engine bay... wondering if the plastic duct would melt, deform, come apart, or somehow jam up the air intake. I've now had this in my car for about 6 months with combination of boring daily commutes and the occasional spirited driving, and haven't noticed any performance deterioration, even under wide open throttle with that tubocharged V8 sucking in air like crazy. Car performs and drives like before. Of course, not surprisingly, haven't noticed any performance improvement either.

This works great for a DIY ram air on E90 325/328/330s. Can be a little bit of a tight fit with xenon afs headlights. Does help performance a little bit at highway speeds.Would not recommend this to be routed to the lower bumper fo anyone who lives in an area where flooding can occur

Quedó a la perfección, buen producto.
