Title: Intercooler silicon piping
Post by: framey on July 04, 2006, 12:34:55 PM
Hi,
I\'m after some replacement silicon piping for the crossover pipe (both ends). I see on ebay (US) that I can get 3inch piping with those nice T band clamps.

Would these work?
Thanks

Apparently the ones from the states I mentioned are 3" internal diameter so will probably be too big.
Anyone on here get some recently here in the UK?
If so, from where please?

Thanks

Sorry for the hijack, but is it nessecary to have humped hoses on the intercooler pipes? Have noticed that the HKS hard pipes have these but some intercooler kits (Trust etc..) dont

Does anyone know the size for the coupler from the y-pipe to the turbo outlet? And also from the turbo outlet to the top IC hose? If i know them, then i can order them from gary!:chat

The humped bit is so you can compress them so that you can fit the pipes. It\'s nigh-on impossible to do otherwise.

I\'m gonna try the ones from the states.
I think they may be slightly too big but for $8.99 for the tube including those t bolt clamps, it\'s gotta be worth a go,
If they are too big,  I\'ll just get some of the sliicone couplings locally.....
