intercooler hose question
my intercooler hose crushes everytime I rev up the motor, I'm trying to replace it with a silicone hose but I dont exactly know the measurements of the hose I need... did any of you guys had an experience with my dilemma and would like to share some tips? thanks
would this fit? 2" to 2 3 4" Silicone Hose 51mm 70mm 90 Degree Elbow Reducer Pipe Hose Black | eBay

Which intercooler hose are you referring to; the top or bottom one? I happen to have mine apart right now so i can measure it..
In general, if you're gonna go to silicone hoses, you should really do all of them; that's why we pointed you to the hose kits..
Thanks for the tip erik; another source for silicone hoses.

Check FCPEURO.com. or you can try calling your local stealer, or in a pinch you can temporarily mend the hose, as I did one time. I removed the hose, degreased it, then wrapped the blow-out with a bicycle innertube that I first spread black RTV on. Then wrapped with some electrical tape. Don't knock it. It worked! I eventually replaced ALL of the induction hoses with stock, not silicone, hoses. Looking back, I wish I had gone with silicone. Good luck. Let us know what you did.
