Chip,

I checked my C5 Parts Catalog and it does indicate the size. However the hose clamps that go on the radiator inlet hose are labeled as 42mm Nominal (I assume that is the diameter). The other "upper" hose is the throttle body heater outlet hose. It's clamp description says M16x1.

Hope this helps.

BTW, got my FatMammas. Can't wait to put 'em on.

Tks for looking it up.

NAPA says it's 1.27" ID, so the clamp size seems about right...
If I remember my AN's correctly that would be -20AN or 1.25"

That just seems small to me...

Peace
Chip

Chip,

There are 25.4 mm per inch. So 42mm = 1.65 inches (which is nominal). I just went out to the garage and put my dial caliper on it. It's 1.675" OD. And with my measuring tape it's approximately 26 or 27 inches long depending on which side of the S bends you measure.

Chip,

If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, I want brilliant cobalt blue color (not the light LMB color).

Double Braided Hi Flow ...but shhhh

I'm sure we can do the ends in Cobolt for you.

If I can't find someone with the ID than I'll just take off mine tomorrow and measure it...

Peace
