What size hoses did you buy? Or was this a kit of some sort?

Looks good. You beat me too it. I am planning on replacing mine with blue because I need to replace some cracked ones.

If you look on the site, they have 2 "kits". A shop kit and an engine dress up kit. The shop kit has more feet than the other. Each has the following sizes: 10, 8, 6 and 4mm.

These hoses have very thick walls, and seem to be of high quality. I looked in a bunch of places, and the price was great for the quality of hose and the quantity. They shipped the same day, plus I found the coupon code for 10% off.

Mine were split on the ends and hard as a rock. Whenever I took one off, I had to trim a piece. I said screw this, I am going to replace as many as I can get my hands on.

No problems whatsoever! The PCV hose did darken up from the oily residue.

Which kit did you get and how many feet of each size did they have?
Was it enough to do everything you needed with just the one kit?

I bet the blue hose adds 30 crank horsepower.

So did you do the dress up kit, or the shop kit? Did it have enough of all sizes to replace all the hoses?

I used the shop kit. I have since replaced the wiper fluid hoses and a few other hoses. Everything is holding up great and still looks new. The PVC hose did darken up because of the oil mist.

Oil mist? Do you mean to say oil is sweating through the hose? I've read that this is not uncommon for silicone.

Nice, I like Silicon hoses, its a shame CA tries to say they aren't Smog Legal... not even sure why since they seem to be a better option compared to rubber lines.

It looks like a Smurf threw up.




Anyway, should have replace the radiator hoses too.

If you get black ones, the smog guys don't care.
Maybe it's blue hoses that are illegal!
