Do I need clamps to secure this hose?

Yes. This hose ships without clamps — you'll need two hose clamps sized for your 2.25" and 3" barbed fittings. Stainless steel worm drive clamps are the standard choice for engine bay durability.

Can I use this for both coolant and boost applications?

Yes. 3-ply silicone handles both coolant circulation and turbo/supercharger charge air in the same build. Temperature and pressure rating depend on your specific tuning — verify your setup doesn't exceed the hose limits before final install.

Will this fit my existing barbed connectors and radiator ports?

The 2.25" and 3" diameters are standard sizes, so they'll mate with most aftermarket intercoolers, water pumps, and radiator outlets. Measure your barbs before ordering to confirm a tight fit — loose connections will leak under pressure.
