So I have some questions regarding hump hoses and couplers. I believe the idea behind the hump hoses are that it will allow for expansion/contraction room in your intercooler piping. Is there not some built in flex room with silicone couplers?
The question I have is should all sections of intercooler piping (straight and elbows) be connected with hump hoses to allow for this flex in the system, or is it optimal to only have one hump hose on both pre/post intecooler side? -------------------- |

hump hoses allow for movement between a rocking engine and a stationary intercooler. i guess if your motor mounts are bad and you engine does move around alot a hump house would be good. but i dont see why people need them if everything is nice and stiff. one or two hump hoses are all you need in the system, one at the turbo outlet and the other at the throttle body.
