HKS Silicon-Hose Purple 100 L50mm - 1803-SA039

Air intake systems are a common first mod to many project cars. They are quick and simple to install while also enhancing the looks of your engine bay, the sounds of your engine, and the performance of your vehicle.

Silicone hoses are a great upgrade from your OEM rubber hoses because they can withstand more pressure and can hold up to more heat cycles. Once you replace your rubber hoses with some quality silicone hoses, you shouldn't have to replace them again.

In October 1973, two talented and spirited young engineers had a vision; to design and build high performance engines and components that major OE manufacturers could not or would not produce.

Led by Hiroyuki Hasegawa, a former engineer for Yamaha Motor Company, and his partner Mr.Kitagawa, the two secured a capital infusion from Sigma Automotive Co., Ltd. (hence the name "HKS "), and began tuning gasoline powered engines in a dairy-farming shed at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan.

A year later, Mr. Hasegawa designed and built the first aftermarket turbocharger for passenger cars and has never looked back.

HKS pioneered the Japanese aftermarket performance industry by delivering a host of exciting new products, including the first commercially available electronic turbo timer and boost controller. Other early products included piggy-back fuel computers and sophisticated fuel management tools. Clearly HKS was Driving Performance trends for Japanese vehicles.
