well if this is possible. how much diff will it make vs hard pipes? wouldnt this be very cheap?i mean we use the same stuff for our stock intercoolers right? im not talking about running crazy pressure tho. 20's and under.
:talon:
 
You can use them but they will flow like crap. I assume you bought the FMIC for added performance so why would you want to get cheap on the piping and loose performance? There is a reason that people ugrade even the stock pipes. Rubber doesnt flow as good and I am guessing you wont find radiator hose bigger than 1.5" And even 20psi is pushing it with rubber pipes IMO.

If it worked worth a damn, everyone would use it. ;)
