If you're diving into the world of performance upgrades, this HPS 2" (51mm) Cold Side Charge Air Cooler (CAC) Hose is a solid choice. It's 6 inches long and built with a 4-ply reinforced silicone that can handle some serious heat—up to 350°F (177°C) to be exact. So, whether you’re pushing your turbo setup or just want to keep things running smoothly, this hose has got your back.
One of the standout features of this hose is its ability to handle slight misalignments. That means if your setup isn't perfectly straight, this hose can absorb some of that vibration, keeping everything connected without a hitch. It's also great for custom turbo or intercooler piping fabrication, so if you're into DIY projects, you’ll appreciate the flexibility it offers.
Now, I should mention that it’s not compatible with fuel or oil, so keep that in mind when planning your setup. But, it’s UV and ozone resistant, which is a nice touch if you're using it in a marine or industrial environment. This hose is designed to meet and exceed SAEJ20 industry standards, so you know it’s built tough.
Here are the specs you might want to know:
So, if you’re looking to upgrade your charge air system with something that’s reliable and well-made, this HPS silicone hose is definitely worth considering. It might not be the flashiest part on your build, but when it comes to performance and durability, it’s a solid piece of kit.
