Flexible intercooler pipe

[jevansio]

Is there such a thing as flexible pipe that can be used as intercooler pipework?

 

Coming off the turbo going to the FMIC there ain;t much room due to the steering rack/water neck from block.

 

Is there like a felxible sameco hose type thing that I can use in that area just to make fitting it easier? (3" diameter)

76mm might be tricky to find, viper do some flexi stuff but it only goes to 63mm, might be worth an email to them though.

These joiners have a small amount of flex in them.

By flexi do you mean metal with flexi bits like an exhaust or a sillcone section? Roose Motorsport in Lincoln can make anything you want, I use them all the time, most recently for nomex wrapped hight temp coolant lines.

I mean like a silicone hose that I can bend a bit just to get through a tricky area without having loads of joins, cheers will look into them too

Would the stock piping not do the job?

[jevansio]

Stock as in OEM or stock as in original 4row piping? OEM is too small (I need 3"), and 4Row is very difficult (but not impossible) to manoeuvre in the tight space. I would like something a little more "flexible" than solid 3" pipe
