Hi,

I'm trying to source a 102mm, 180 degree hose for the inlet an an LS7.

I've seen a couple of cars with silicone or carbon ones, can anyone point me in the direction of where to get these from. Can't find a supplier, emailed GD and not had a reply.

Something like these:






I know this has been raised before, but search still isn't working...

Cheers

one option for a tight bend is to use a donut

20 quid e-bay... search 180 degree silicone.
Enough meat on them to offset cut/shorten the straights hence keeping the bend as forward as poss. Have a used one in the garage but was specifically cut for a blower install, just retained for mocking-up ideas.

Only my personal opinion, but I've had mine on for 2 years - & very happy with it. The intake gets a nice cold air feed from the clip scoop - I preferred to the inlet being between the exhaust silencers (& I don't recall there was a dedicated boxed in system offered by the factory when I built mine though). Also uses a standard size panel air filter.

Also, dare I say it, it looks like it was actually designed for the car and finishes off the engine bay nicely.
