Depending on price, I may be in. I would make sure the groove fits the Breeze Constant Torque CT300 clamps at the I/C and CT250 (I think) at the turbos, for extra security.

My brother is writing the Catia program and the lengthy process data sheets for them to be manufactured, he's a busy guy so he's doing it in his spare time.
The last conversation i had with him he said that the pipes are too long to form in a female tool in a single piece, so he is going to do each of them in three pieces.
They will start with the reinforced silicone rubber like originally mentioned, then a carbon cone section and back to the silicone rubber again. The silicone rubber sections will be bonded to the carbon so you will only have two hose clips like stock, and the join between the rubber and carbon will be flush.
They are going to be really cool pipes, way over engineered but they will look fantastic. I will keep you guys informed, it's going to take a while but it'll be worth the wait.
I'm going to have to buy a pair of the orange ended ones for now as they won't be ready before my engine goes in. As soon as i have something fo you to look at i'll let you know

It's going to take a while, basically to make the pipes exactly the same as the red ended ones it will be too expensive, one of the pipes is quite easy, it's the other one with two bends and a weird flat spot that is going to pose a problem. I'm waiting for him to come back to the UK and we will take templates from a car (nobody he knows in Denmark has a 993tt, it's most likely the 180% tax they put on cars).
He is going to make a simpler pipe but can't do anything until he has something to work off, like I said it's going to be a long process, I've had to buy two new pipes for mine recently too
I will come back with news once there is some
