I've been using the Fernco for the last 5 years no problem. There is however some other hose available from sponsors that comes in different colors and is more flexible than the Fernco.

I know Next Level Performance [Norris Motorsports] had some and I think Thunder Racing carried it. I believe it's the same type hose that is used on turbos and blowers.

I`m telling you one thing. Get ready for some sweet power. Your going to love your 408. I can turn sideways at a 40mph roll and I have a A4. Sweet power and a TON of TRQ!
