freeskier8585 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Recently totalled my 05R (sad days) and am going to be driving my 97 850. I have the factory reverse piping. A friend of mine has been driving it and has torn up the top rubber hose, i would like to replace it with silicone, does anyone (check samco and stylin) make a replacement for this or do i need to redo the whole piping system?

Scott Sorry about your loss! If you can't get a replacement silicone hose, why don't you snag a new OE rubber hose to replace it instead of re-piping the system to the 94+ routing?

yangotang Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 just trying to avoid the rubber... i still don't understand why this forum is so pro-silicone. i mean, it's fine for breast augmentations, but over time, but in hose applications it'll soak up oil just like rubber does. just my two cents. i'm not sure if anyone makes it - but my best guess is no due to it's odd shape and small market.

shanehutton Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Brand new rubber will probably be good for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIORE Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 your going to have mix and match and find the right bend of silicone hose. there's no reverse piping silicone kit that i know of you usually have to buy it all pipes and couplers together all in one.

BurgerBob Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Try silicone. In some cases it's better than OEM and cheaper (at least in performance situations). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake-R Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 There is none that I know of. Just purchase the O.E. Rubber, you shouldn't have to worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 If you call Stylin, and know what you need they will build it for you. If you go that route, let me know since I'll take one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS70T5 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I'd ask IPD, they sell the RIP kit so they would probably sell the hoses too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
