Brand: Pegasus Silicone Hose
Charge Air Cooler (CAC) hose is specifically designed to handle the higher temperatures and pressures in high-performance turbo and supercharged applications. Four layers of polyester reinforcement and 3 reinforcing rings allow operating pressures of 42 psi (170 psi burst pressure) and temperatures up to 350° F (180° C). Note that this temperature rating is best suited to the "cold" (post-intercooler) side of the system. This hose is color-coded Blue for easy identification.
This hose is a straight reducing coupler measuring 6 inches (150mm) long overall. It is designed specifically for connecting a 3 1/2" (89mm) OD metal intake pipe to a 2 1/2" (63mm) OD pipe, absorbing slight misalignment and vibrations. The 5mm wall thickness results in a 3 7/8" (99mm) OD at one end and 2 7/8" (73mm) OD at the other. Sold individually.
Note: Silicone hose is not compatible with liquid fuel or oil of any type! It will withstand exposure to an air-fuel mixture and will survive occasional oil spills, but constant exposure to pure petroleum will destroy the silicone rubber.
