Construction & Design

The intake hose is crafted from reinforced silicone, a material known for its superior heat resistance and flexibility compared to traditional rubber. This construction allows the hose to maintain its shape and integrity even under extreme engine temperatures and vibrations. The silicone material also resists cracking, hardening, and collapsing, common issues with OEM rubber hoses over time.

Each hose is precision molded with factory-correct bends and curves to ensure a seamless fit without kinks or restrictions. The included stainless steel T-bolt clamps provide a strong, uniform seal that resists loosening and corrosion, further enhancing the durability and reliability of the intake system.
