In time, the rubber construct weakens, causing increased likeliness of a boost leak. Also, we have managed to melt the factory rubber hose a handful of times during our track adventures on our shop car. Our high-temp, 4-ply silicone with handle the high temperatures of the turbocharger much better than the factory rubber hose(s).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth airflow: Custom molded silicone allows us to offer much higher flowing bends than we could with metal tubing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimal fitment: We have found that the factory rubbers hoses don't offer the most desirable fitment, especially when paired with an aftermarket radiator. Our silicone hose(s) offer even better fitment than factory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit Includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Cast Aluminum Intercooler Outlet Piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Aluminum Charge Pipe, Powdercoated Wrinkle-Black w\/ Vacuum Port(s) \u0026amp; 1\/8\" NPT Methanol Injection Bung\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Charge Pipe Bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) M5 x 0.80 x 10mm BHCS Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(3) 4-ply silicone couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(6) 304 Stainless Steel Lined clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll hardware needed for install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PRL Motorsports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32652359729251,"sku":"PRL-HCR-CP","price":763.96,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/8848\/2659\/products\/IntercoolerPipingComponentsLayout.jpg?v=1591504178","url":"https:\/\/www.speedscience.co.nz\/products\/2017-fk8-civic-type-r-2-0t-intercooler-charge-pipe-upgrade-kit","provider":"Speed Science","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
