Silicon Hoses
 
I am after some feedback on silicon hoses? Has anyone bought and tried these $49.95 jobbies off ebaY?

Just purchased a set of these in red last night

I'll let you know

Even though it might be china-spec silicone, I'm sure it's miles ahead of stock rubber hosing..

Feedback for me as well guys... ;)

I fitted a blue set and a couple needed trimming for length but they all fitted well.
I changed all the pinch clips for hose clamps as well.
Only down side is they look flash and all the other vacuum hoses look crap:rolleyes:

Grap a roll of coloured vacuum hose and do every hose in the bay.

Seem pretty good quality of cheapo china hoses and all my rubber ones looked original and most were cracked and brittle.
Time will tell if they last.

I got some of the ebay ones for my white wrx and they were fine, couldn't fault them one bit.

Im using and have used heaps of china spec silicone hoses. Mostly bought from ASI Performance on ebay. Never had a single problem. No sucking in under vacuum or boost. I run up to 22psi of boost
