Hi All,
I've been tempted into thinking that a useful mod would be to replace the air breather hose with smooth hosing to improve the airflow. Now I know ACT are the usual port of call, and they have the kit (T1008A) that looks like what I need.
My problem is that vanity has got the better of me, and I've started to look around at whether there is any blue silicone hosing products that would meet requirements. The car is GTS Blue and a similar colour hosing would really look the part. Now I've seen various engine bay pics that show blue hosing eg.

Now ACT don't do blue silicone hoses any more for the induction hose(so I believe), so my question is - do any of you guys know if blue hoses are available / are suitable (assuming that they are heat part protected from the manifolds).
The elbow piece is available from TVR Power or SAMCO, but not sure if there is a easy replacement for the main (bulkhead to AFM hose). Anyone else got fixated by the colour of the hose as well, and tried to go down this route with any success.
Thanks
Peter

There not that's the problem.
I would have prefered red like you to match the colour of the car but black is the only option for the long pipe.
Speak to tim.
