Can anyone tell me where to buy aftermarket silcone hoses without spend days on the web trying to get hoses. I bought a kit on eBay from G plus that was mistake shorted me to hoses try to email them 3 weeks later zip. All the kits I see don't have all the hoses I need (coolant tank) is any vendors that sales single hoses.😩

Are you telling me Way motor works ? Little pricey but I will check them out
Thanks Bob

 

Email them got right back to me thanks, I have bought from them before. When I said pricey I met I live on west coast shipping. They only sell good top line stuff !

 

ECS Tuning has OEM radiator hoses ON SALE...Cheap. I just saw them in the clearance/Sale Section.

Any any orders over 50 dollars ship free !

They last longer and IMO more reliable for a daily driver than the aftermarket silicone hoses.

 

I've always heard of people having issues with the silicone hoses....especially on daily drivers. Sure, they look cool.....but if one splits open on your, or develops a big leak on your way home from work....it's going to stink.

If it was me, I would stick with oem hoses.

 

Does anyone have actual experience with silicone hose replacements? Not conjecture. Mishimoto makes a full set for about $189. Does coolant evaporate faster with silicone. Do they seal as good? Do they take the pressure? Real experience please. We are in colorado with cold winters and hot summers.
Thanks, DR

 

When I have a hard to fine hose I check

and they have been good in the past.

Not always the cheapest, but I've completed my project.

 

I had a silicone hose set on Jango, my first R53. I kept the car for about 2 years after I put them on and didn't have a single problem. It was a daily driver in Texas (lots of summer heat... little winter freezing temp).

I love the look of the silicone hoses, but they are a PITA to keep looking fresh and clean (brush up against 'em with a greasy hand and you are stuck cleaning forever). The black OEM hoses are much easier to deal with.
