Silicon Radiator Hoses?
Has anyone tried silicon radiatior hose like the Spoon ones? Spoon says that they reduce the temps in the engine bay. I would like to get some if they cool the engine bay down a bit. Mine gets so hot. Anyone who has they or anything like them please tell me how they work. Thanks

For the price of those hoses, you could buy 8 or 9 pairs of new stock hoses.

bling bling factor haha but seriously... yea the stock rubber does tend to dry out and crack.... after.... 100k 
i guess if you were doing an endurance race the high dollar stuff is less likely to burst.

Re: Silicon Radiator Hoses? (Reid)
But it goes with the spoon theme engine bay! Maybe I should just paint my stock hoses blue and use a white marker to write SPOON on it. Just as good right?

Re: Silicon Radiator Hoses? (B2FiNiTY)
Only reason i was thinking of getting them was to cool down the engine bay temps. Seeing as spoon says thats what they do. If they dont, im not gonna get them. If i do i will prolly get the C&R ones. I felt them on miguels car before, and teh were semi cool, but i dont remember how long the car was sitting for.
