One of the great things about OEM heater systems is that they have hoses exactly bent and shaped the way needed, so that the hose is perfectly formed for the job.\u00a0 Good advice for aftermarket installations like my intercooler cooling mods is to measure out exactly what type of hose you need, then go look at the big books of existing OEM hoses at an auto parts store and find the one snowflake that is similar to your needs.<\/p>\n
