just wanted to let you guys know..that they are NOT strong at all compared with the stock rubber hoses. the only pros is 1.) they withstand heat better and 2.) they look perdy.
I thought these aftermarket radiator hoses were just dressings that went over the rubber ones instead of replacing them. They should make something like that.
I actually found something like this the other day. I went to get a second siren hooked up to my alarm, and the car audio place that did this is now getting a little into imports. They had a kit to wrap around all the hoses of an engine. Of course, it was only made for Hondas but it looked nice.
