Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Guys,

I'm about to attach my snorkel to the Patrol (88 GQ wagon if it makes any difference), but will need to use some sort of bendy pipe/hose to run from the inner guard where the snorkel pokes through to the air cleaner.

I had a look around autobarn and saw some flexi hose that is used for cold air induction, but I'm worried about how well t'll hold up to excess heat in engine bay, especially when it'll be suspended above a hot exhaust manifold.

What's the best stuff to use? that's robust, seals tightly and won't dry out/melt when heat gets to it.

thanks in advance.

i went to my local hose supply joint. they sold me some corrugated hose in 3" that is meant to be heat resistant to 300odd degree's and is water proof, I used hose clamps and sikaflex at each end to seal it

I'm in the midst of the same problem, in an 86 4Runner trying to install a different air cleaner.

Ideas and places that I'm exploring are pool places, plumbing places and an exhaust place knocking up an s-bend and then sealing that in with little silicon/rubber joiner pieces. But I figure that might cost me something So pool and plumbing first- the problem is that the pipe has to do a fairly sharp s bend, something that tough piping may not be able to flex around @ 2.5" ID.

Ideas from others??

ash.. go to purple pig on the corner of mountain hwy and stud road... they will be able to help you, might even have an offcut in the bin that youd pick up for uber cheap.
