Ive had 2 standard plastic type hose split so thought i would get the uprated one ! Is is just me or all 04 Sti and wr1 engine lay out a bad design the corner of the mannifold fixing point sits almost in front of the turbo causing an angle for the pipe to gett around and almost impossible to get the pipe on ! i have even filed a bit off the corner to ease the angle just about got the pipe on the other day and manifold back on but looking at it today it has sliped off again due to the stresson the pipe and even when it was on it looked kinked because of the angle it has to get around ! I would appreciate any help with this or suggestions on what to do about the problem of fitting the pipe ! On the standard pipe it has a bit of an angle at this point but silicon does not .
