Description
The aFe AN Straight Aluminum -6AN Black Fitting Adapter provides a straight fluid connection for AN-style hose systems, offering a corrosion-resistant aluminum construction that supports reliable routing in high-performance engine bays.
This adapter is designed for installers who demand precise, compact AN connections after upgrades such as a larger turbo or revised fuel and oil plumbing. It helps restore clean, serviceable hose runs when original fittings are damaged or when components are relocated during a turbo upgrade.
- Material: Aluminum body — lightweight and resistant to corrosion for long-term durability in engine environments.
- Configuration: Straight -6AN fitting — maintains uninterrupted flow path and minimizes unnecessary bends in hose routing.
- Finish: Black-coated exterior — provides a subdued, professional appearance compatible with track-focused and show-quality builds.
- Compatibility: Works with standard -6AN hoses and fittings for straightforward integration into existing AN plumbing.
Why this matters: Proper AN adapters preserve hose integrity and sealing under repeated service and higher operating pressures common in modified, turbocharged engines. Using a purpose-made aluminum -6AN straight adapter reduces stress on hoses and connections, simplifying maintenance and improving the reliability of performance plumbing.
Brand note: Mishimoto is referenced for its reputation in performance cooling and motorsports-grade components; this adapter is intended to complement a high-quality build where reliability and serviceability matter.
