Hey all,
Just got the eclipse ready for spring doing some maintenance.
I'm sick of seeing those stupid rubber hoses expand and i know it's a loss of power.
I've looked all over, and i'm not sure exactly what i need. Upper and lower pipes i know but not sure if that covers it all.
I want those rubber hoses replaced with aluminum or stainless, All of them!
Can you please post a few options. Along with a new BOV.
Hoping to be in the range of around $150-200 for the pipes.
I know ebay isn't a great choice but it's just pipes...right?
Thank you all!

to some extent a pipe is a pipe but you want too look for a couple of key features such as if the ends have a rib to prevent the couplers from blowing off under high boost. Also the diameter should be the same or larger than stock. you could try ebay or i'm sure there are other aftermarket companies that make them for a 2g i know they do for a 1g. hope that helps
 
The rubber hoses if in good shape should hold pressure up to about 20psi. The primary problem is the stock BOV. Make sure when you purchase the blow off valve you get a recurlating type.
 
I run the Dejon T/B S-pipe & a Dejon uicp with a 1g bov & the Dejon licp & it's absolutely better than that stock stuff no doubt.

Oh & by the way I also run those intercooler pipes to a Hahn Racecraft SMIC.

you can get a stock evo fmic for about a hundred. cx racing piping for 80 1g bov 20-30 wouldn't waste it on hard pipes instead of stock hoses if nothings wrong with them my 2 cents
