    Matte Textured Oil Silicone Grade Hose

    I've come across this really nice matte textured hose included with supercharger kits, but I've never been able to find anyone in the US that sells it. I'm tired of gloss silicone or hose with print all over it. Aeroquip hose looks the part, but it has no flexibility to fit on anything other than the appropriate connectors. Sizing needs to range from 1/2" to 3" as shown below.

    How to turbo your car:
    Step one. Install ecu and learn to tune and or have it tuned.
    Step two. Install injectors and retune.
    Step three. Install turbo parts and bits. get it running with out leaks. DO NOT DRIVE IT. Idling should be ok
    Step four. Retune car
    Step five enjoy

    Here are the smaller diameters I'm after, just in the US...

    I've seen it used in trucking. It'd be a bitch to keep clean though. So many little nooks to trap dirt and it doesn't wipe down very easily.

    btw you can typically remove the paint stencil from the silicone hoses
