What Are Cobra Style Hoses for?

Cobra Style Hoses are designed for applications where installation space is limited and a tight 90-degree turn is required. Their unique shape allows airflow to change direction within a very compact area, making them ideal for crowded engine bays and custom performance builds - and, of course, they kind of look like King Cobra snakes.

They are commonly used in intake systems, intercooler piping, and turbocharger installations where a conventional 90-degree silicone elbow can't cleanly clear the components it needs to clear. Cobra Style Hoses are especially popular on manifolds with tightly positioned throttle bodies where maximizing available space is critical.

Thanks to their reinforced construction, they can be used on both the intake and boost sides of induction systems while maintaining durability and airflow characteristics.

Why Should I choose the BOOST Products Cobra Hose?

BOOST Products Cobra Style Hoses are engineered to combine compact design, durability, and performance. Manufactured from high-quality silicone and reinforced with multiple textile layers. While it may look like the airflow will be altered a bit too much, we can guarantee they are built to withstand both boost pressure and vacuum without collapsing or deforming.

Extensive testing has shown that BOOST Products silicone hoses meet or exceed the quality standards expected by professional tuners and performance enthusiasts. The silicone remains flexible, durable, and color-stable even after years of exposure to heat and engine bay conditions.

With a temperature range from -40°C to 220°C (-40°F to 428°F) and pressure resistance of at least 5 bar (72.5 psi), they are suitable for demanding performance and motorsport applications.

Termperature Range: -40°C to 220°C (-40°F to 428°F)

Pressure Resistance: 5 bar (72.5 psi)

Every hose is backed by a 5-Year BOOST Products Warranty, providing additional confidence in long-term reliability and quality.

What Sizes of Cobra Hoses Are Available at BOOST Products?

BOOST Products Cobra Style Hoses are available in a wide range of diameters to suit intake, intercooler, cooling system, and turbocharger components.

The specified diameter always refers to the hose's inner diameter (ID). For the best fitment, match the hose size to the outside diameter of the pipe or the desired physical connection.

Hoses up to 38 mm (1.5") inner diameter feature three layers of textile reinforcement and a wall thickness of approximately 4.3 mm (0.17"). Sizes from 41 mm (1.6") and larger utilize four reinforcement layers with a wall thickness of approximately 5.3 mm (0.21") for increased strength and durability.

Whether you are building a custom intake system, upgrading intercooler piping, or fabricating a complex turbo setup, BOOST Products offers Cobra Style Hoses will provide the solution you're looking for!
