Title: Will these HKS Hard pipes fit to the intercooler?

On ebay they say they fit in place of the OEM Plastic intercooler hoses...but looking at the shape of them I didnt think they matched (the smaller one does) but the other one looks a bit long and the wrong angles?

They look like the ones I used to have, and the shape looks good to me.

Cheers

I think I might be looking at them wrong then.... the shorter one goes on the right of the picture yes? But is the other hose a little short to reach the bottom of the inlet elbow pipe? Will I need to buy a greddy elbow or is the stock elbow ok?

If you buy those mate, they will fit the stock elbow fine. But will be to short for the greddy elbow. And you would need to get someone to make up a connector hose.

The bigger one goes to the bottom of the OE intercooler :) (not to the elbow)

Ahhh, didn\'t think about that, makes sense now...

I\'m running FMIC and I\'d love a polished elbow, but it wont fit my pipes and I can\'t be arsed to sort out extension pieces etc.
