    Fall is upon us, and it is a very busy time of year. As we tackle more projects here at HPi, we are hitting our stride for SEMA but not forgetting about all the other projects coming along as well. Have you checked out our #ANconversion App? It will help you pick the right size sleeve based upon what AN size your hose it. OD’s may vary with different manufacturers, but we have taken the most popular OD’s of AN hoses and made a web app to help you pick your sleeving size!

  4. Extra Monday

    Finally a long weekend, and we took the time off to enjoy it! Well it is back to the grind (and 10 cups of coffee) as we get closer to SEMA. Tuesday feels a lot more like a Monday and with the extra day off, it feels like an extra Monday #monday, if that makes any sense. We hope #bayonecustoms and #thegarageinc , are banging away on their #semabuilds. While our builders are busy cranking away, we are taking their feedback and yours as well come up with some special goodies back in the #skunkworks . Speaking of the skunk works, here is a peek at a prototype turbo shield and exhaust jacket for an OEM marine engine company.
