Upgrade the factory intercooler hoses on your Volkswagen MK8 GTI, Golf R, or Audi 8Y S3 with APR Intercooler Hoses. Featuring multi-ply silicone construction, smooth fluorosilicone-lined interiors, and strong Clampco T-bolt clamps, these direct replacement hoses provide a durable 60mm charge-air path designed to improve airflow and reduce potential boost leak points.
Quick Fitment Overview
- Compatible with Volkswagen MK8/MK8.5 GTI and Golf R, and Audi 8Y/8Y.2 S3
- Compatible with factory and APR upgraded charge pipes and intercoolers
Product Description
APR Intercooler Hoses replace the factory rubber hoses and worm-gear clamps with upgraded multi-ply silicone hoses and Clampco T-bolt clamps. The system is designed to create a smoother and more secure airflow path through the intercooler connections while increasing durability for stock and modified vehicles.
The hoses feature a full 60mm configuration and smooth internal surfaces designed to minimize unnecessary restriction. APR EZ-Flow stepped interior lips create smoother transitions between the hoses and adjoining pipes, helping maintain a more consistent airflow path through the charge-air system.
Multi-ply silicone construction provides increased resistance to swelling and tearing, while the interior surfaces are lined with fluorosilicone to resist deterioration caused by oil exposure. The silicone material also conforms closely to the mating surfaces under operating temperatures to help create secure connections and reduce the possibility of hose movement or boost leaks.
APR replaces the factory worm-gear clamps with strong Clampco T-bolt clamps designed to provide consistent clamping pressure under increased boost. The hoses are compatible with both factory and APR upgraded charge pipes and intercoolers, allowing them to be installed independently or as part of a complete APR charge-air system.
Best For: Volkswagen MK8 GTI, Golf R, and Audi 8Y S3 owners looking to replace the factory intercooler hoses with stronger silicone components while improving airflow and reducing potential boost leak points.
Why Choose APR Intercooler Hoses?
The factory rubber intercooler hoses and worm-gear clamps are designed for the original charge-air system. APR upgrades these connections with reinforced silicone hoses, smoother internal transitions, and T-bolt clamps to provide a stronger and more consistent charge-air path that works with both factory and upgraded intercooler components.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What do the APR Intercooler Hoses replace?
A: The APR Intercooler Hoses directly replace the factory rubber intercooler hoses and worm-gear clamps with multi-ply silicone hoses and Clampco T-bolt clamps.
Q: What size are the APR Intercooler Hoses?
A: APR uses a full 60mm configuration designed to provide a smooth and consistent charge-air path.
Q: What are the APR Intercooler Hoses made from?
A: The hoses use multi-ply silicone construction with smooth fluorosilicone-lined interior surfaces.
Q: What is the benefit of the fluorosilicone lining?
A: The fluorosilicone interior lining helps resist deterioration from oil exposure and extends the service life of the hoses.
Q: What are APR EZ-Flow stepped interior lips?
A: APR uses stepped internal transitions where the hoses connect to adjoining pipes. This helps create a smoother airflow path rather than introducing an abrupt internal transition.
Q: Do the APR Intercooler Hoses include clamps?
A: Yes. Strong Clampco T-bolt clamps are included to provide secure and consistent clamping pressure under boost.
Q: Can these hoses be used with the factory intercooler?
A: Yes. The APR Intercooler Hoses are compatible with the factory intercooler as well as the APR Intercooler System.
Q: Can these hoses be used with factory charge pipes?
A: Yes. They are compatible with both factory and compatible APR upgraded charge pipes.
Q: Is this product legal for use in California?
A: No. APR currently lists this product as not legal for sale or use in California.
