Greetings and Happy Holidays Cayman Clubbers
We have responded to the “collapsing silicone hose issue” that a few customers have experienced with a new and improved wire reinforced silicone hose. We have discovered inconsistencies with our previous silicone hose shipments. We have sold close to 100 Cayman S plenums and have found that about 15% of the Caymans were suffering from the hose collapsing, especially under full acceleration in the higher gears. Computational dyno flows show that the new IPD wire reinforced
plenum hoses should be able to handle 2539 horsepower before experiencing any collapsing issues, making this problem completely and totally resolved.
Obviously in an effort to offer the best customer service possible, any and all previous Cayman S
Plenum customers can receive this new hose by simply contacting us and placing a request. There is no charge. We only ask that you return the original hoses back to RSS after receiving the reinforced hose. All new orders will be shipped with the new and improved wire reinforced hoses.
Even if you have not experienced any collapsing issues you are still welcome to request the new hose if you prefer the added piece of mind. We have yet to experience any issues related to the silicone hose with all of our in-house installs which is about 12 to 15 cars, but these customers are welcome to the same offer.
The new hoses are not only considerably stronger but also cut to the correct length and offer a great fit. The new reinforced hoses can be identified by squeezing or by the orange color on the inside of the hose.
Thanks again to everyone for all the continued support. The RSS team extends it’s warm holiday wishes to the entire Cayman Club community.
Cheers,
Greg
