Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Spectre Performance 8741 Duct in Black by Mark Harris

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good product. Poor packaging and kinked clutch.

Used to replace the air hose on a 1995 Mercedes C230. Glad he's strong. It does its job, but a lot harder than it should have been. The bad news is that the hose connectors are made of very hard rubber that isn't very flexible and one end is very poorly packaged. It's rolled up and tucked into the tube, so when you open the packaging there's a very, very bad bend on a coupler that won't come out under normal circumstances. Therefore, our packaging is not round and does not fit on the supplied tube. To adjust it I had to boil a pot of water and dip it in and take the clutch out to soften it up and try to smooth out the crease and get it back into a round shape. It worked. I also had to smear the inside with some petroleum jelly to get it onto the hose. The only fault is the stupid packaging. There are TWO clutches and only one is clogged and bent. The other is fine.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Expensive
