Hi
To complete my intercooler setup I need a silicone hose to join two ali pipes. The problem is they are offset so a straight pipe won't bend enough and a 45° is too bent if that makes sense. The angle id need at a guess would be about 25°. Can't seem to find anywhere that sells a similar pipe, everywhere seems to be 45, 90, 135 180 etc. Any suggestions where I could get one from please?
Thanks in advance.

Not seen that before, sounds like it may do the trick though if its flexible! Where can I get some from please?

Thanks for the link, I saw this but it looked like low pressure pipe for air filter to turbo etc. doesn't look like it will take 37bar like it says!

Go to a local exhaust place and have some stainless bent.

there is nothing wrong with a A-series that a turbo can't fix.

I looked at that, but its not long enough. Probably needs to be about 8" long.
