Description
Upgrade the factory intake system of your VW Golf MK8 GTI with the Red Ramair Silicone Intake Hose, specifically designed for the 245bhp 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 4 engine used across compatible MQB Evo platform vehicles. This performance-focused silicone intake hose replaces the original OEM plastic induction pipe with a smoother, reinforced alternative designed to optimize airflow through the initial section of the intake tract.
Featuring a carefully engineered constant-radius design, the hose helps reduce restriction and provides a smoother airflow path between the airbox and turbocharger. As a direct replacement for the factory pipework, it offers a straightforward intake upgrade while maintaining compatibility with the original intake system.
The hose is manufactured from high-quality multi-ply silicone with fabric mesh reinforcement, providing excellent durability, flexibility, and resistance to the demanding conditions found within the engine bay. Its reinforced construction helps maintain the shape and integrity of the intake hose during normal operation.
For secure installation, the hose is supplied with two high-quality stainless-steel W2 hose clamps. These replace the difficult-to-use OEM spring clamps, providing a secure connection while making installation and removal more convenient.
The Ramair silicone intake hose can be used with the standard factory airbox or with compatible aftermarket induction kits that mount in the standard airbox position. This makes it a practical upgrade for owners looking to improve the intake tract without replacing the entire factory airbox assembly.
The hose features an 80mm internal diameter at the airbox end and a 70mm internal diameter at the turbo adapter, matching the applicable 245bhp 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen 4 intake configuration.
