to protect it from heat, the downpipe is so close to it.

thanks.

I was wondering the same thing. I found some heat wrap for the manifold/downpipe, but is there something else to use for the radiator hose? TIA

You can also order the fire sleeve from Hahn.

At one time I was inquiring about having a silicon hose made. But to have just one made it would be very expensive. It would be great if we could get a group buy and have someone make one.

I was thinking about making a new hose out of mandel bends? I haven't thought about it to much. What do you guys think? Bad idea? Work?

It will work and it looks good as hell. I have seen it on the 4G63....I was going to have them made when I had my downpipe made but it was too expensive to have made for just one. I want one for sure if u do it.

I use a stainless steel braided hose (see sig pic)... it works extremely well. High pressure hose clamps are a must.
