Hi all,

If you've seen my Indy intake setup thread you'll know I'm looking for an air tube solution that can withstand the engine bay heat.
It needs to be 2.5" ID durable and flexible.

GM has used these type of flex hoses in 2 of their prototypes I would like to know:

- What is the name of this hose?
- Where can i find it? or similar product.





I've tried a Google search without good results.

Any info would help. Thank you

Not sure what the technical name may be, but Spectre sells a flexible intake tube kit looking similar to that. I used to use it on my Preludes for routing cold air intake lines.

That hose is high temperature silicone hose. We used to use it with our dessicant plastic dryers.

That is a product which is used extensively in aircraft. Probably the most popular brand is Aeroduct. There are several grades, however, the orange color indicates this is either 'SCAT' or 'SCEET'. They both are made from a silicone impregnated material, for use in temperatures from about -70 to over 550F. SCAT is made of a single layer with a wire inside to hold it's shape. SCEET has an inner and outer layer with the wire between them. We have used both kinds for intake ducting on all sizes of aircraft. Maybe SCEET is a superior product, but we use mostly SCAT. A good source is: Aircraft Spruce, toll free line is 877-477-7823, or www.aircraftspruce.com. Pricey, but good stuff. Hope this helps. That's a wild intake system!

$6 a foot isnt that horrid for charge pipe setups... Couplers and hard tube can cost alot of money too.

Xanth and avengador1 Thank you, you both had (+) from me already

quote Posted on www.aircraftspruce.com : Aeroduct "SCEET" type ducting has two plies of silicone rubber impregnated fiberglass similar to SCAT except wire between plies. Sold by the foot. Features: Highly flexible and can be easily installed around obstructions and sharp bends. Has less friction loss than similar non-lined ducting. Applications: Ideal for use in conducting extremely cold or hot air at temperatures ranging from -80°F to +550°F, and for conveying fumes. Not recommended for applications involving liquids or highly abrasive materials, or for negative pressure applications.

Exactly what I'm looking for
I could have spent all night on Google and not find it...This is why I love this forum.
