Why Upgrade?
The factory TD5 inlet hose is prone to collapsing under vacuum, especially on tuned engines or when fitted with a restricted induction system (such as a snorkel). This restricts airflow and reduces performance. The wire helix reinforcement in the Alive Tuning™ hose eliminates this risk, making it a near-essential part for tuned and performance-focused TD5 builds.
Breather System Improvement
This hose is designed with no breather port. We recommend routing the engine breather through a catch tank and venting it to atmosphere. This avoids oil vapour contaminating the intake system, which otherwise coats intercoolers, hoses, and manifolds – reducing efficiency.
(If you require a hose with the breather port, please see our alternative version HERE.)
Cost-Effective Alternative
Replacing the entire TD5 intake system with alloy or stainless sections can be costly, yet offers little real advantage. This Alive/Samco silicone solution is more affordable, easier to fit, and delivers the same (or better) performance benefits.
Alive Tuning™ & Samco Sport® Partnership
Samco Sport® is the leading name in silicone hoses, trusted by top vehicle manufacturers worldwide. Alive Tuning™ have partnered with Samco for years to produce the finest Defender TD5 silicone hoses – combining long-term durability, excellent fitment, and outstanding performance. These hoses look fantastic and perform brilliantly for life.
