So I'm digging the red hoses found at outmotoring. Only issue is it'll end up costing like ~$700 for all of them. Radiator hoses(8 pc), turbo hoses(5 pc) and turbo inlet hose. Yikes! Isn't this a tad much for engine dress up? I'm not expecting any increases in power but just the bling factor. Thoughts? Cheaper sources? Anyone else took the plunge and feel its worth the dough? Thinking of going all red.

 

Not to sound rude or offensive but doesn't red seem a bit "rice"? Are there other collor options? As for thoughts I know samco makes a kit that replaces all the coolant hoses, not sure on available colors.

 

No offense taken. Red, blue or black seems to be the most common color options. Blue would clash and black looks stock -shrugs- Maybe I should just get M7's AGS-R to dress up the engine bay (I don't believe intakes add much, if any performance but would get the AGS-R since that fiberglass shroud really dresses up the engine bay-which is all I'm trying to accomplish)

M7's after sales support can be less than stellar though :/

 

That was my dilemma with blue hoses. I wish they made them is more collors like green and white.

 

Actually white would be schweet.

 

Samco does make a wide variety of coolant hoses.

Want color on the cheap? Spray paint.

 

Sadly that won't help performance. Samco has proved that their kits can lower coolant temps as much as 10 degrees.
