Post your intercooler pipes - need inspiration

Mats · 31st January 2016, 15:10

Hi guys,

very odd request but could we have a thread with pictures of engine bays that show the various coloured intercooler pipes in place? I cannot make up my mind

Do we have all the colours in the forum?
If I'm not mistaken, the pipe comes in the following colours: Blue - Red - Purple - Yellow - Green - Black - Orange

Cheers

Mats

You could try 2 colours.

I only went this way as could not get matching colours and the right bend.

Only if you make up a silicone one from angles and joiners. I don't think many members would go that far. Maybe you could get a photo of the standard (black) hose in position and Photoshop up different colours yourself.

EDIT: Here's one from Jules' shop. That would work.

Black intercooler hoses and engine covers!

If you want to change the upper, you should probably change the lower hose also.

The lower doesn't exist in a premade silicone format - so you'll need to DIY with elbows and joiners. I think they only come in blue or black. If you want the flouro lined, then it's black only.

Something to think about.

...and metallic colours too

I'm sorry if I wasn't accurate enough. I was referring to the hoses sourced by wullie480: http://ww.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum...d.php?t=183775

I went for Blue, only because I wanted to easily see the black gunk if my O rings started to go again.

Here's mine in blue with a stainless steel 90 degree bend pipe.
