I have been trying to buy this hose for weeks around the speed shops up here, have one on back order but no delivery time can be given, all seem to be out of stock, if anyone can tell me where I can get one it would be greatly appreciated. My current turbo to IC inlet line transition hose has a split, many years old.
ITEM: Straight transition hose 44/45mm ID on the small end and 57mm ID on the large end, around 100mm long.
Thanks. The issue is everyone is out of stock in many sizes, I've been looking for weeks, as said I have an order in with Autobarn and can't get a delivery date, have contacted many outlets.
If you go on ebay and type in " reducer hose 44mmx57mmx100mm" there is a place on there selling them - it's got "raceworks" on the pic.............they have them in stock according to the ad

Thanks Guys, after going through more ebay sites from suggestions I tracked one down and they are telling me it will be here Monday. Had to go to Autobarn again today to pick up some AN4 fittings and asked them to check on how my back order of said Transition was going, Nothing on the horizon they said, none of the parts stores here have that size.
Thanks for the help. Will let you know if this ebay one does arrive....
Every shop I tried has the same story, can't get parts and big troubles with delivery, I know Bunnings and Mitre 10 up here are out of various bits. I went to buy a drop saw a few weeks ago, not an expensive one because I won't be using it all that much, one I saw on display looked fine, couldn't find it, called over a storeman and he checked stock level, none in Australia, he said this was happening to them more and more.
Maybe use a steel/alloy concentric reducer with a straight silicone joiner at each end?
An exhaust joint might be able to make one? Just guessing here...
To be honest I think it's equal parts covid related supply chain problems and a general lack of giving a **** by those working in the retail industry. Out of the 8 deliveries I ordered from local companies, 6 of them were late or did not arrive at all and I had to chase them up, to which their go-to excuse was "covid".
Arrived yesterday, actually came from Toowoomba, a bit short (70mm instead of 105mm) and not as thick on the wall as the Raceworks one I had initially, but at least it doesn't have a split.
