Is there any advantage to using the polyurethane air intake sleeves seen on fleabay and more importantly..disadvantages

I am going to be doing some work over the winter and will be replacing some old rubber including the intake sleeves..

Do you have a link? I've never seen such a product.

I'll be replacing all these couplings when I reassemble my whole intake plenum & shroud area.

I used their sway bar bushings when I refurbed my suspension

Cool, I am doing the same project when I put the car away this winter.

I'd really like to try them and add some color to the ugly engine bay, but these OEM pieces are $4.50. These poly pieces work out to twice that once you consider shipping.

EDIT: I was wrong, these pieces are actually pretty well aligned to OEM pricing at $8-9/each.

wow nice collection of 964 steering/sway bar bushings ... even the infamous shift linkage cups for the ball joints
but in poly ... going to check my bushings etc.. but I wouldn't mind a set of those sleeves as they match perfectly

where did you see the shift link bushings? I only see for 930's?

HiWind

^^ the ball joint/cups were 928 parts but those 930 ones look similar
- hard to tell size from pics - but that edge is different

but i think that part replaces this bushing at the rear of the shift rod (gearbox side)

I want to take back this comment, I was looking at the wrong pricing. The pricing on these sleeves is actually in-line w/ OEM pieces.

I am about to pull the trigger, but now the auction ended! Darn.

Silvertarga

Vandit, I dont think it was an auction, it was fixed price listing, they will list them again or contact them direct, I bought the sway bar bushings from them on ebay and had them add the steering rack bushing to my order..

I amk sure they They made plenty so dont get caught up in an auction!

Vandit

I sent them a message asking about a new listing for the intake sleeves.

I installed their poly steering rack bushings earlier this year.

Vandit

Finally got a set of these intake sleeves headed my way.

HiWind

thanks for guinea pigging Vandit

I'm honestly doing it just to add a little splash of color to the engine compartment.

HiWind

for sure ... thinking the same thing especially as it suits my color scheme
