scatteh316 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I use any pipe that's used for turbo's and intercoolers as they run higher temperatures then our exhausts get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends, they have hose for cooling systems in cars... i.e.... the water which runs at 115-125c and then they have the stuff meant for turbo's which runs much hotter.
