Hot air feed

[Jimmy5]

Have been looking for an OE hot air feed for the r5.

Anyway came across this stuff, which looks like a modern substitute

Does anyone know if this would be any good?

Cheers

Nope no good

That stuff is more 'plastic' and would just melt with the heat from the turbo!- it's used for cabling purposes in control panels etc......

What you need is more like the heat wrap material...........

Ok, well do u know of anywhere where u can get exhaust heat wrap in a hose format? Surely there must be a modern substitute

Hope you find something

Down the scrapyard, mk3 astra hot air feed fits spot on and tidy.

Difficult to say 100% - looks kinda right! but length,width etc etc.........

I'd go down the astra MK3 route as above, and if you really want mint - then see if there available new from vauxhall?
