They are about 45mm (measuring the pipe not to the edge of the bead) I use 45mm silicone hose and it fits nice and tight over the bead

ill be using 2" (50mm) hose and its snug.

I found 50mm internal piping to be pretty slack, and not very promising for an airtight fit.

45mm i/d however was just the job, fits perfect.

is it as good as samco stuff?
as if there cheaper but just as good theres no point spending the extra cash for a name imo!

its all 3 ply silicon hose, but its wall thickness is a midge's dick less than the samco, but it wount make fa difference in our application.

I've just used zena racing too, they seem ok, i had a boost gauge that was faulty and they sent a replacement without much bother.

just put an order in to Zena Racing, will post some pics when its all done.
