Speed flow fire rated hose with speed flow fire sleeve because that's what the local rod shop sells and it works.

How's it going tuned it yet?

Cool when's it come on boost? What exhaust?

It shouldn't be under any pressure by the way. Overheating and melting yes bursting no.

it was split just under the the top hose clamp and was spraying when i was on boost. exhaust is a cobalt cat back with the factory cat but that will get changed out. i just wanted it running before the end of the holiday period which it is.

Sounds like the hose clamp cut into it to me without seeing it.

Yep - I've put the blue dunlop stuff of 4 or 5 cars to replace aging stock stuff. Always worked fine.

I'd go to the local hose shop (pirtek/enzed etc) and explain what it's for and they'll fix you up.
