This is heavy duty industrial flex tube that will not collapse. We have been running it on Casper for a long time now.
4" is GT40's
5" is GT42's
6" is GT45/47

5475K89 - 4"
5475K91 - 5"
5475K92 - 6"

It's good to 250°F and will last about 6 months to 1 year. Then engine vibration will normally cause wear. If you route it nice, it should last much longer.

Air filters can be ordered directly though http://knfilters.com/universal/universal.htm

Tell them you are a racer and need it immediately for a race this weekend, or they might tell you to order through a dealer.

Pat, I bought this tubing, but I couldnt make it work on the stock turbo, it was just too tight. Is there a trick to getting it to work, are special clamps needed as well.

The factory turbo is about 1/4" bigger than 4", IIRC, I will check tomorrow.

It doesn't really stretch much, it's not like dryer hose, it has stainless wire in it and two layers.. Maybe try and heat it with a hairdryer, then "twist" it on the direction of the wire?

If theres a good way to make this work with a factory turbo, I think it might be of benifit, I belive 4' of the 4" hose cost $35.00. which really isnt that bad. Wonder if you need a different clamp than the factory, it seems you would.
