These hoses were fine. I got them for my 2004 Subaru Forester XT after an STI swap. The colors look good under the hood, but I've had a few issues with them. First it turned out that the L-shaped manifold behind the intercooler was the wrong size. Luckily the intercooler I bought came with this hose so I was safe. Second, the boot that was attached to a short hose at the bottom of the intercooler near the air duct ruptured. It rusted on the hinge and caused a vacuum leak in my intercooler. Not what I expected from the installation and other reviews.
