We want to use hose as a flexible coupling between the intake runners and the RB Wagner pipes,
would SCEET-7 & SCEET-8 hose be an appropriate material for this application; is it suitable for
the temps, pressures and fuel vapor? It is wire reinforced between 2 plys of silicone impregnated
layers, rated at 500F.
Also, what is wall thickness of the SCEET tubing?

I plan on running a weld bead around the ends of the runners and the ends of the pipes to provide
a raised bead to prevent the tubing from slipping off under pressure. Paul, you might want to add
this to the next-gen pattern.

Make sure there is no possibility the inner liner comes loose and blocks
the runner. Known to happen when used as intake ducts.
