i was looking at http://www.roadraceengineering.com and they have 1 ft of 2.5" silicone hose for $25 or 1 ft of 2.5" nitrile/sbr hose for $14.

whats this nitrile stuff? is it better than silicone hose?

 

If I am not mistaken the nitrile stuff is more of an industial hose, like what you get on McMaster. The silicone is more of an intended purpose hose, meaning it is more expensive because it is specifically designed for couplings. *shrug* I say go with the nitrile as it won't really make a difference.

im sure radiator hose would be fine but i think ill go with the nitrile stuff beings its cheaper and they say its black 3 ply reinforced hose, sounds strong enough to me for the price of a foot compared to that silicone stuff, thanks man for clearing that up for me

 

Radiator hose is made from a Nitrile. Nitrile is a family of rubber compound. It will be fine, just not as bling bling as silicone.

 

good info that i never knew, i know that they got some of taht fuel injection hose that has like braided line in it and that is very tough stuff

 

Radiator hose from NAPA . Good sheet for the money, but like he said it's def not going to give you the bling bling factor

 

i dont need bling bling
