Generic lower (accordian) intercooler hose found

[Dave Aukerman]

Cheaper other places, without a doubt.  In my case, I was in a pinch and the
local (read high price) parts place was going to have to do.

As to the heat and oil resistance, time will tell.  The old stuff sure seems
to turn to bubble gum over time, but......

As to the pressure, I'm not at all worried about a measly 1.8 bar doing much
damage.

In any case, this hose will be a godsend to those on the road and encounter
a failure.
