Intercooler Ducting

[Myetball]

I've got a bizzare question about intercooler ducting. I'm thinking of ideas to get my intercooler hooked up. I don't have the cash to get custom pipes bent. I reeeally don't want to piece together the ducting with rubber bends and straight pieces. Too many possibilities for leaks.

I only need about a foot and a half from the turbo to the i/c inlet and then maybe three feet from the outlet to the pipe on the throttle body. What do you guys think of using some industrial hose like this for a 10psi application:

High-temperature silicone-coated fiberglass hose has a smoother bore than neoprene-coated hose. Use it to convey hot air, dust, and fumes when temperatures exceed the normal limits of rubber. Ideal for glass manufacturing and arc lamp venting, engine-compartment air handling, and turbine-bleed air ducting. Hose is odorless and holds up well over extended use.

Max PSI: 22Max Vac: 20 hgTemp Range: -75 to +500 degrees ferenheitConstruction: Orange-red, 2-ply fiberglass fabric with silicone coating Reinforcement: Spring-steel wire helix and a fiberglass cord bonded to cover Compressibility: 1.5 to 1 Min. bend radius: 2"Price: $10.12/ft. (min. 5ft increments)

High-temperature silicone-coated fiberglass hose

This sounds interesting. Do you have a link or something?

Also found another hose that is similar but holds 54psi and 29"hg vacuum with zero length compression but has a 1.4" min. bend radius. This is for 2" size, psi drops to 30 for the 2.5".

if you need some tubing i have some 2'' mandrel bends and a welder that would work
