hi guys,

i'm just wondering what everyone is using for intake hoses and where i can get it, i require an I.D. of approx 92 mm.

i am removing the prefilter in my '89' gq td42 and fitting a home made 90mm PVC storm drain snorkel and need something to go from that to the main airbox. Factory pipe is only approx 80 mm

any info greatly appreciated

thanks guys.

The cheapest, yet best quality stuff I've found is this:

High quality, unlike the plastic stuff on eBay and at Autobarn etc, yet still costs less. It's a funny rubbery/plastic compound with wire reinforcing.

Is that stuff smooth inside?

Nah, it's not as harsh as the plastic stuff sold as intake pipe though.

We use a plastic corro tube similar to the link above. The stuff we use at work has a smooth internal surface though.
