Default silicone hose

Hi all,

After reading Joesau thread on his new air intake I went out and bought the 90 degree silicone hose that fits over the throttle body, but as Joe said, he had to grind his tb in order to make it fit and I dont want to do that. If anyone living in brisbane is thinking of doing this mod i have this hose for sale. The hose cost $69 but will sell for half that. I believe the hose fits better on the BA TB ( so I'm told ). Lost receipt cant take back.

Thanks.

It will fit without grinding the TB. You need to fit the bottom part first, then use a screwdriver to get the rest on - sort of the same way you get a bike tyre back on a rim. Then just clamp it and it will never move.
