Thumbs up stock intake pipe replacement other than samco?

Hi, i have searched and even called companys to see if anyone offers a stock intake pipe replacement to a smooth on the inside and bigger diameter. All i have found is the Samco silicone intake pipe replacement, but I dont trust silicone since it sucks with heat. So my question is does anyone know where i can purchase a replcement pipe for the stock one? the reason why i want one is becuase i have a drop in k&n filter and i want to but the spoon snorkel keep the stock box and have a smooth intake pipe. thanks (i called K&n and they dont offer a stock similar pipe made out of their plastic)

Here you go. I am not sure if it fits the stock airbox since it was designed for the mugen intake.

yeah that one is nice but the welding bumps on the inside kinda defeates the purpose of a smooth interior. oh well . Does anyone have the Samco silicone hose that could give me any comments on it?

I'm currently running the Samco hose with my Mugen Replica Intake. It's perfectly smooth inside and I doubt there is any problems with heat issues. The silicone is the same materials used on turbo applications such as for the intercooler piping. Hope that helps

I have no complaints what so ever with the hose and haven't had any problems with it either. Looks a lot better than the OEM pipe thats for sure

If you want to wait.... S2X will be hosting a special on a CF intake tube that is larger and smooth inside. He'll chime in more about it later on
