CAC Hose 2.50in I.D. x 6in long - Black

The CAC Hose 2.50in I.D. x 6in long in Black from Vibrant Performance is a charge air cooler (CAC) intercooler hose engineered for turbocharged and supercharged engine builds. This silicone-construction hose bridges the gap between your turbo outlet and intercooler core, managing boost pressure while maintaining structural integrity under sustained high temperatures. Whether you're building a street performance engine or upgrading factory boost piping, this hose is an essential component for maintaining peak intercooler efficiency and preventing heat soak that robs power.

Vibrant Performance's CAC hose features a 2.50-inch inner diameter (I.D.) with a compact 6-inch length, designed to fit tight engine bay constraints while providing adequate flow capacity for moderate to high-boost applications. The black silicone construction resists degradation from elevated temperatures, UV exposure, and aggressive coolant chemistry—critical for longevity in high-performance environments where aluminum piping alone falls short. The smooth internal bore minimizes pressure drop and turbulence, allowing your intercooler to function at maximum efficiency and keep charged air at the lowest possible temperature before cylinder entry.

This hose suits LS turbocharged conversions, small-displacement turbocharged imports, and aftermarket supercharger installations where factory piping either doesn't exist or cannot handle boost demands. The 2.50-inch I.D. balances flow with package constraints common in modern engine bays, and the 6-inch length accommodates standard intercooler-to-throttle-body routing on most street and track builds. Pair this with proper silicone hose clamps (such as T-bolt clamps rated for boost) and verify fitment against your specific turbo outlet and intercooler inlet diameters before installation; proper routing away from exhaust manifolds and radiator fans ensures longevity and consistent performance.
