In time, the rubber construct weakens, causing increased likeliness of a boost leak. Also, we have managed to melt the factory rubber hose a handful of times during our track adventures on our shop car. Our high-temp, 4-ply silicone with handle the high temperatures of the turbocharger much better than the factory rubber hose(s).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e- Smooth airflow: Custom molded silicone allows us to offer much higher flowing bends than we could with metal tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e- Optimal fitment: We have found that the factory rubbers hoses don't offer the most desirable fitment, especially when paired with an aftermarket radiator. Our silicone hose(s) offer even better fitment than factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eKit Includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e(1) Cast Aluminum Intercooler Outlet Piece\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e(1) Aluminum Charge Pipe, Powdercoated Wrinkle-Black w\/ Vacuum Port(s) \u0026amp; 1\/8\" NPT Methanol Injection Bung\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e(1) Charge Pipe Bracket\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e(2) M5 x 0.80 x 10mm BHCS Bolt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e(3) 4-ply silicone couplers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e(6) 304 Stainless Steel Lined clamps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll hardware needed for install\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRL Motorsports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47994477576442,"sku":"PRL-HCR-CP","price":369.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0325\/6352\/7739\/files\/PRL-HCR-CP-2.jpg?v=1763754818","url":"https:\/\/lgcracing.com\/products\/prl-motorsports-charge-pipe-upgrade-kit-17-21-honda-civic-type-r-fk8","provider":"Legacy Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
