Mike Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hey Rusty,Best thing to do is buy the hose, if need be flair the ends. Make sure to put clamps or nuts on first. Use some of that fro ingenuity. Keep us posted.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/5506-intake-hose/#findComment-24796 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HK Trucking Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 4" schedule 40 plastic sewer pipe works good too. You just cut it and glue on whatever elbows you need to get it to fit, then connect it at each end with a short rubber boot and hose clamps.Of course it won't look original, but it does get the job done.

CML Service Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 You may need a 90 degree in that hose. So you may want to consider a 90 degree exhaust elbow. Then all you need is short sections of hose and clamps for the connections. The steel pipe will look good and handle the under hood heat for ever.

ChuckThanks, Chuck.......I used PVC and hose connections for now. But the exaust fitting will be the next step, (summertime) unless I find the original replacement.

HeyCharger Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 DOES ANYONE HAVE SUGGESTIONS FOR REPLACING 4" AIR INTAKE HOSE, (FROM MANIFOLD, TO FIREWALL), HAVING TROUBLE LOCATING ITEM. FOR 59 B61. THX, RUSTYI used a little lateral thinking in my B61 and used 4" SCAT/SCEET aircraft hose.It's fairly cheap, can tolerate heat and is reinforced and flexible.What more could a man want???
