i was thinking about some of these kits that just have the two couplers at the TB and the filter end, and they arent all that flexible, and wondering how they work with the engine movement without stretching the rubber couplers? You can see the factory hose has the corragations to solve this issue. I suppose the engine doesnt move enough to be a problem.

the mac one might help in this area, by allowing more flex to compensate for engine movement.

On another note, I used to be in another forum dealing with another make of car, and there were MANY people who were running a MAC exhaust and/or headers, and just about all of them said they were junk, rusted quickly, didnt fit well, and mac was known to have quality control issues at the time. this was awhile ago, so maybe they have improved.
