Hey Everybody,

I am in the process of having a silicon Michelin Man Hose with port for
bypass valve made for my 5kcstq. This hose will work better then other
silicon hoses as it will fit the teardrop shaped throttle body of the MC
better, and will not be straight like the current hose that you can get
at TAP, but will have a slight bend it in.
The reason for this is that the TAP hose wears out pretty quickly due to
the pointy end of the teardrop throttle body rubbing, Also the hose
needs to be Bent, and tries to pull itself off the throttle body.

Currently the Silicon hose from TAP is $115 dollars

Once I get the design worked out, I decided to sell these hoses, Should
be half of what the TAP Samco hose costs.

I am wondering if anyone would be interested in such a hose for use with
a bypass valve?

Thanks in advance

Joe
