Ramair silicone induction hose

[Ceecab705]

Today I installed a silicone hose from a British company called Ramair. Since I installed it on 2016 I picked up an intake conversion from Maperformance, but this can be easily made with the factory vacuum hose connectors and a one way check valve.

There was never video proving what this hose would do under heavy load. I thought it was a good idea because it would smooth out the air flow.

I know.. pretty disappointing. The jury is still out.

I have the hose. It's pretty thick and sturdy. IMO, I doubt the hose crushes under WOT.

I covered my hose with gold heat reflective tape and there hasn't been any signs of the tape peeling like the hose has been contracting and expanding.

That's good to hear. I was freaking out over here thinking this thing was gonna implode.

Mine seems fine, had some really thin, weak and rather long wire twist ties wrapped around the hose and and those didn't deform beyond "normal" engine movement.

And to spice up the FUD... watch this!

^ Looks like single ply rubber or smth.

lol, that was already posted in the other RamAir thread. That rubber definitely looks much thinner then the RamAir hose.

Been running that hose for 6 months now.
Havent had any problems, if it would collapse during WOT I think you would notice.

Crushed tube = less/no air, cant imagine the engine likes that.
