Hi Kees
This may not be useful to you as I have a 914 but I replaced all my hoses
With quality silicone ones with reflective heatsheald sleeving over them,
But the only hose I have closer to the exhaust than I would like is the
Main Port
Radiator hose 25mm were it comes through the ducting, But even here it has
about =BC inch and is still fine after 4 years,
Best wishes
ivor
