Viper Performance hoses are not only about cars, in fact we supply our hoses in every industry. We now offer high Temperature Bespoke hoses built to your specification.
We have developed a new ‘extreme duty’ silicone turbo hose that will be available for bespoke applications.
The hoses are made from a special high temperature silicone and finished with a silicone liner with Nomex reinforcement capable of withstanding temperature up to 240°C.
To enable the hoses to also cope with extreme pressure the hoses have strengthening ‘humps’which are further reinforced with stainless steel external bands.The hoses can be made to any size and shape, including angles and changes of diameter as shownby the examples in the picture.
The hoses, which are a spin off from Viper’s commercial vehicle division where huge turbos are commonplace, are ideal for race engine builders and tuners intending to develop their own high performance turbo kits. Prices start at £49.99 per hose for bespoke one offs.

Viper Performance adopts the Japanese Kaizen Process
At Viper Performance Hoses we always improve and inovate.
This is why we have adopted the Kaizen daily process.
The purpose of which goes beyond simple productivity improvement.
It is also a process that, when done correctly, humanises the workplace, eliminates overly hard work, and teaches people how to perform experiments on their work using the specific methods and how to learn to spot and eliminate waste in business processes.
In all, the process suggests a humanised approach to workers and to increasing productivity.
The idea is to nurture the company’s human resources as much as it is to praise and encourage participation in kaizen activities.”
Successful implementation requires the participation of workers in the improvement.
People at all levels of our organisation participate in kaizen, from the Directors down to cleaners.
This has been the business ethos of Viper for years, now all staff apply the kaizen process daily. Already within weeks since implementing this, we have made many procedure and simple changes which will makes us more and more efficient day by day.
