Hi,
just wondering if anyone knows where to get some yellow silicone hose for connecting intercooler pipes? I have found red and blue but since I am tidying up the engine bay I need yellow.
thanks
Chris

well looks like I won't be bothering either as I have 2.25" pipe and GCG only do it in 2" or 2.5" so...?
oh well, save some money

i honestly can't remember how much.. i bought some 2" for use with a furnace at uni..
MRT sell kits, but AVO (thats them  ) sell the pipes individually...
call them and ask? is what i did they 'should' be able to get anything samco offer since they are a distributor... (afaik)

oh, i should add, we tried to melt thru the pipe with a soldering iron and couldn't do it...
we use the pipe at the end of an alumina tube on a 1300C furnace.. the conact temp between the tubes is around 200C and has been on there for... maybe a year AT TEMPERATURE already and going strong.
it looks very well made... well reinforced, and the colour layer is only on the outside (maybe outer 1mm)
the inside is always blue i think...
