If you're diving into the world of custom turbo setups or just need a reliable connection for your charge air system, this HPS 6" Cold Side Silicone Charge Air Cooler Hose is a solid choice. I’ve had my fair share of hoses in the garage, but this one really stands out. It’s not just about looks—though that blue color definitely adds a nice touch to any engine bay. What I appreciate most is how well it handles the heat. With a temperature range from -65°F to a scorching 350°F, it’s built to take a beating without skipping a beat.
This hose is a hefty 4-ply reinforced silicone, which means it’s tough enough to handle slight misalignments without cracking or leaking. I’ve used it in marine applications and for some industrial projects, and it’s held up like a champ. The 6" inside diameter is perfect for those bigger setups, and it fits snugly with an outside diameter of 6.38", so you know it’s not going anywhere once it’s in place.
One thing to keep in mind is that this hose isn’t compatible with fuel or oil, but for air cooling systems, it’s got you covered. Plus, it’s UV and ozone resistant, so you can trust it to last even in harsh conditions. I’ve got three rings on this bad boy, which adds to its durability and ensures a tight seal. If you're looking to fabricate custom piping, whether it’s for a turbo setup or an intercooler, this hose is definitely worth considering.
In terms of specs, here’s the rundown: it’s 6" long with a wall thickness of about 4.5mm, give or take. The reinforced layer is made from durable polyester, ensuring it stands up to whatever you throw at it. Overall, if you want a hose that’s reliable, tough, and gets the job done, this HPS silicone hose is a solid investment.
