Stock Subaru turbo inlet hoses are extremely prone to degrading over time, resulting in tears or rips that can let un-metered air into your Subaru's engine. That can cause a lean fuel condition and damage the engine!
Prevent such a scenario by upgrading to an aftermarket silicone inlet pipe. The thicker silicone is flexible, much stronger than stock, and much more resistant to heat. Mach V Motorsports carries inlet hoses from Cobb Tuning, Mishimoto, Fuku Works, AVO, and Samco.
