Breather Hoses

Silicone breather hoses for performance cars are designed to enhance the engine's crankcase ventilation system, ensuring efficient management of blow-by gases. These hoses replace standard rubber breather hoses with high-quality silicone, which offers superior performance in demanding conditions.

Technically, silicone breather hoses are constructed from multi-layered silicone reinforced with polyester or aramid fibres. This construction provides excellent flexibility and durability, allowing the hoses to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures without deforming or degrading. They are also highly resistant to oil, chemicals, and UV radiation, ensuring long-term reliability.

The benefits of using silicone breather hoses include improved engine ventilation, reduced risk of hose failure, and enhanced overall engine performance. By maintaining their shape and flexibility, silicone hoses ensure consistent and efficient removal of blow-by gases from the crankcase, reducing pressure build-up and preventing oil contamination. This leads to better engine efficiency and longevity, particularly in high-performance and turbocharged engines where precise ventilation is critical. Regular inspection and proper installation are essential for maximising the benefits of silicone breather hoses.
