New SU boost tubes.....new clamps.....Huh! Well...Well

[Dream]

why do you need a picture of what the stock tubes look like? go out to your car and look.

I ment compared to the new tube (crazy)

u could accomplish the same thing by just adding some nice tbolt clamps.....hell prob just tightening the stock clamps...mine were very loose

Just by changing the glued on clamps on my wife's CX7 made a big difference in boost response. I will be doing this on the speed 3 asap.

Anyone know the exact sizes?

Just checked my stock ones yesterday and the two on on the turbo outlet were OK, not tight but not too loose. On the intercooler outlet side, the one on the intercooler was about the same as the others, but when it came to the one on the throttle body, it wasn't even HAND TIGHT! I could literally turn the screw with my fingers, and that was after having to contort my self to reach it, as it was on the bottom of the tube. It took about 5 full turns to get it tight. Took it for a drive and noticed I picked up somewhere between 0.5 to 1 PSI.

Buddy of mine is a Samco dealer, and has asked the manufacturer to provide
him with a set for my car. Word is they are about 2 months out. I'm gonna
wait for them. Just my .02.
