Silicone Hose 45 deg Elb 3in ID x 4-1/4in Long

The Silicone Hose 45 deg Elb 3in ID x 4-1/4in Long from VIBRANT PERFORMANCE is engineered for high-performance cooling and intercooler systems where tight routing and precise angles are critical. This 45-degree elbow connector is purpose-built for custom engine builds, turbo upgrades, and modified cooling circuits where factory hose geometry won't accommodate your new layout. Whether you're working with a forced induction setup, LS swap, or custom water cooling loop, this silicone elbow delivers the flexibility and durability that aluminum and rigid plastic fittings cannot match in space-constrained engine bays.

Constructed from premium reinforced silicone material, the 3-inch inner diameter accommodates high-flow coolant or boost piping with minimal restriction, while the 45-degree bend angle allows you to route hoses around tight obstacles without kinks or flow loss. The 4-1/4-inch length provides a compact transition suitable for mid-engine bays where every millimeter counts. Silicone construction resists extreme temperatures, oil exposure, and coolant degradation far better than standard rubber—critical when intercooler fluid or modified cooling systems reach sustained elevated temperatures. The reinforced wall structure prevents hose collapse under vacuum or pressure cycling, ensuring reliable performance across thousands of heat cycles.

This connector is ideal for DIY and professional mechanics building turbocharged, supercharged, or heavily modified cooling systems where OEM hoses don't fit the new engine architecture. The 3-inch ID works seamlessly with standard hose clamps and adapters used in performance plumbing, making integration into custom intake, cooling, or boost circuits straightforward. Verify your existing hose diameter and routing angle before purchasing to ensure proper fit within your engine bay constraints. Pair with matching silicone hose sections and quality stainless clamps to complete a professional-grade cooling or boost system upgrade.
