The hose should be at least a 3-inch inner diameter, preferably larger. Route each hose thru the car with large, smooth bends.

3-inch or larger is ideal but the S2000 will rub a 3 inch hose, and 255's up front will rub a 2 1/2 inch hose at full lock.

Bigger might be better, but something is better than nothing. Even 2" hose significantly reduced temperatures on my car vs. nothing.
