Corksport Charge (hot) Pipe to BAC hose
We got a CS hot pipe to replace the plastic OEM one which unfortunately suffered a broken BAC nipple. 22 year old brittle plastic; what do you expect?
The BAC nipple on the hot pipe is probably 11-12mm OD and the BAC's nipple is 15mm. But CS supplies a 10mm ID silicone hose to connect the hot pipe to the BAC. I FIPG'd a 5/8" ID hose to the over the CS supplied 10mm ID silicone hose and stretched it over the nipple on the hot pipe with a little lube so it'll work.
But CS is a good supplier so I can't help but think I'm missing something! Any ideas?

I have been trying to solve this issue for ages. It's a real ****-off actually. If you use a silicone hose to connect the two it squeezes it and messing up the idle. At least in my case.

I used two seperate hoses, the one that fits the bac slides over the one that fits the nipple. A lightly tightened screw clamp prevents any leaks.
I have an Apexi power intake that has a nipple (of the appropriate size) right behind the afm, I might use that instead once I get my cold air box fabbed up.

I was thinking about getting the CS pipe since my stock one cracked. I ended up getting the stock one. More than double the price but if it lasts another 22 years cool with me Also got a new stock hose

or get an S4 one, good luck getting that one to fail.
hate it when manufacturers get cheap and make parts from plastic that shouldn't be.
a heat gun and patience works wonders in saving it though. but by the time i get the cars some **** has already tried to pry it off cold and broken it and JB welded it back together(does not work by the way).
