Can this hose be replaced?

[Cupra_Jay]

I am looking into repalcing this hose with some samo style blue hosing to match the other hoses i have already replaced. i was wondering if there where any companies that sell a replacement hose. This is the hose i am on about:-

If anyone has replaced it or knows of somewhere to get one from it would be much appreciated. Also, how much does the hose cost aswell? i know its not gonig to be cheap

Cheers

no direct replacements out, although forge have made up some kits to fit FMIC to the car so thy may be able to help.

Although i have to ask why spend money on that at this stage, sort the exhaust etc

But why o you need to change it. That is one of the strongest pipes on the whole intercooler system. If you wanna look at pipes to change then firt off look at the one form the turb and hangs under the car, its as soft as J-los bum, and also the on the cupra the pipe that comes from the solid ali lower pipe along to the intercooler inlet, It balloons up like nobodies business, esepecially on the higher boosting TDi's

I think it's a cosmetic rather than performance thing...

yes, it is for cosmetics that i am replacing it, as i am aiming for a polished and blue hose'd engine bay and wondered if the hose could be replaced.

it wont affect anything by replacing it (as long as its done properly!) or invalidate my warranty?
