Mcmaster carr carries it as well as a few other places.
Or you can go with this Bentley Harris Convoshield Chrome Corrugated tubing
You got to remember the hose we sell has a higher heat tolerance and strenth than any hose in your vehicle. It will outlast the car and any other vac line, belt, radiator hose ect. If your worried about heat areas use the covershield. If you can burn through that than you got it laying on a header.
But everyone likes it there own way, There are other and much cheaper places to get the same line as alkycontrol uses. You just have shop around there are many local places that can do you custom lengths for less than $5 a foot with the fittings. The an style fittins can be gotten on mcmaster carr for under $2 bucks each. all the fitting they use can be gotten on there. |
Thanks for the info.. My downpipe gets really hot really quick and it's driven allot on the weekends and sometimes during the week so I was thinking of just replacing it with -an line and be done with it.. no worries of it melting and an engine fire erupting you know but using some shielding makes sense.
That Bentley Harris stuff looks good.. I was actually looking at the DEI stuff earlier today.. i'l have to compare pricing and most likely go with that
