I would imagine the Spoon hoses are probably made by SAMCO for Spoon.

Check out this page:

When I went to buy my SAMCO intake duct for my other car I could pay a high price from a tuner that put their name on the SAMCO hose or buy the hose direct from SAMCO for less. Guess what I did... :D

You could also try a turbo shop. One of my friends went down and bought straight lengths of coloured silcone hoses and made of his own hoses so to speak.

Good luck buddy. Hope this helps. :)

VTiR civic, thanks mate
where abouts did he get it from? im still looking for places

No worries. I bought mine from a place in California (my other car is an American car). One thing I have to say is that it is not an off the shelf order you may have to wait a while for the hose. I had to wait about 10 weeks for the air intake hose I bought for my car to get shipped from SAMCO in the UK to California and then had to wait for it to get shipped over here to OZ (reason being even though it was in their parts listing it was a special order item). :rolleyes:
The website link I gave you listed two Australian SAMCO agents:

You might also want to check with hondar on this forum to see if he offers an equivalent spoon part and check pricing on that too.

sweet as.
thanks guys...
just one other question....not too sure about the type of hose i have to get to replace all my stock black rubber ones....
how can i find out the dimensions/diameters of these hoses to find out what i need?
i was originally going to just go to the place where they had it and get them to have a look at my engine bay....

Sorry Stephen, I just realised I misread you post. I'm not sure where my friend got it as it was a while back, it was in the Chipping Norton area though. Probably driving your car to the place you buy the hose from would be easiest and comparing the hose available when you get there.
