Exhaust hose

[Kryten]

Anyone know where to get the heatproof rubber hose for exhaust couplings?
I need some for a couple of cars,but cant seem to find it in say metre lengths?

im using silicone hose from ebay you can get that in metre lengths just need to work out the inside dia then search ebay my vrc pipes 22mm i just broght a short bit that i cut in half and that lasts a good year or so before its shot then i just replace it with the other half

this is what im using its a 100mm length and quite cheap and you should get 2 from it

also may be worth noting my vrc pipe has a metal collar that joins the 2 sections together and the silicone goes over that so its not getting as hot as it would if the collar wasnt there its just to stop oil leaking and to seal the pipe if your pipe has no collar it may not last as long

Thanks for the link i'll try some of that.
The Samba also has a collar on,but i'm gonna have to change the angle of the standard header pipe to fit it. Looks like test fitting is what knackered the existing rubber.

Jayce, this is what I purchased a short while back.

It specifically states it's both for use with fuel and is temperature resistant up to way above what we'll see.

If you PM him, he may be able to send a shorter (cheaper) length.

I did the same ...1mtr length of silicone hose for about £12

cut a 50mm length from it and hey ho not needed to replace it yet...2 gallons later..which leaves me another 19 exhaust couplings as spare parts...

much cheapness...:lol::lol::lol::lol:
