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? -------------------- |

technicly, you should have one hump hose on each side of the intercooler,(they dont have to be AT the intercooler, just one on each side of the intercooler piping. and regular couplers the rest of the way is fine.
