you cant fabricate silicone, and pg stopped making them metal/aluminum, due heat soak issues, also not to mention making silicone mold and manufacturing cost is %30 higher then just buying some pipes and welding them together.
and here are 2 references, with some good numbers, enjoy

you can not inject Nylon mesh thats reinforce the silicone pipes. pg f90 down pipes are 3d bend so we are using both technologies to manufacture parts, and still choosing silicone over metals.
i am not saying only intakes make that power,(tunes play biggest role) but feel free to post some results.

I don't see what those dragy numbers have to do with the quality of the intakes Or the improvement in times resulting from the intakes

You are posting them "as-if" the intakes resulted in those times.

You're looking at a front mount intake that is less than half the price of the rest of the front mount intakes on the market and it does the exact same thing at half the cost and you're talking about the materials that you don't understand because you are just mad mad that you probably paid double to achieve the same exact results, or you don't have enough money to buy either, clown

What are the quality materials that were used, educate us please? Chinese made plastic coated in resin, is that what you're trying to tell me that you paid $200 more for?

Just my .02, I've ran both PG and RK Tune on my F10. I wanted to powder coat mine so I switched to RK Tune. The PG ones are made really well with thick silicone and performed well. The RK Tune piping looked good, but the material before powder coating looked very um, thinnish and cheap w/o a paint job. RK tune worked great though.

They both worked well and served it's purpose.

short extension will require V BAR removal or you have to flip them upside down. long extension will be easier in installation.
but my concern is will the long extension affect Rad BADLY ??

No issues with Rad. I have been running it for 5 months in Central Texas on aggressive stage 2 and no issues at all. Thx
