trcm Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Inevitably perhaps, the paint is peeling off the black duct pipe which guides heat up to the roof vent from the rear manifold cat. I could paint it I guess, but think it might just disintegrate if I remove it to paint. Can anyone suggest somewhere I can buy a section of replacement pipe of the right diameter to replace this with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trcm Posted December 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Yes! Perhaps I can find one that isn't in gaudy orange though! 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trcm Posted December 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 The black one is neoprene isn't it? Not sure that would last long in the engine bay 😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electro_boy Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 From the link it says the black is good for 200 degreesC. Would that be good enough?

trcm Posted December 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) I think cats temps run at up to and beyond 500℉ / 260C, and though the air would be cooler than that, I'd like a bit more margin.

Bravo73 Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Looks good. If anyone ends up buying a 1m or 1.5m length, I would be interested in buying a short section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratman Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 hello, I have a question about this pipe; do you think that the air is going down to the cat during the ride or it work like a chimney when the car stops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimney, to remove hot air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGTE Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I got one of these: Masterflex motorsport hose Looks great and copes really well. They will do shorter lengths than listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Alfa2Evora Posted December 21, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 I fitted one of the JJC ones a few months back. Seems to be doing the job fine but the only thing grinding my gears is that its colour now clashes with my engine cover, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trcm Posted March 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Well I didn't fancy the orange pipes, so I took a 7mm socket (screwdriver would have done too) to the jubilee clip... and a 12mm socket to free the bolt holding the top of the pipe... And I cleaned up the frayed plastic wrap on the pipe, and gave it three coats of matt black BBQ paint! The camera flash didn't like the matt black, but I rather do. The paint coverage is much more even that this photo would have you believe, and it's a much darker black in real life. Maybe I should take another without the flash, oh well.

Whitey Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 I replaced mine with one from Revotec a few years ago, and it still looks like the pic attached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
