MC engine Throttle body to Intercooler Silicon hose

[Michael Guidotti]

What do you consider pretty quickly?
I have been using the TAP hose with the bypass valve for about 4 years now and have not had any problems with it. It does not seem to be showing any signs of wear at all and I am very happy with the quality of the Samco hose, I honestly believe that it could last forever and once you get it seated properly it does not pull off.

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
