I hate eBay first of all but while everything is apart I figured I should just replace all the hoses. Rather than OEM Honda I wanted to try and have everything silicone. I have no idea the quality of these hoses nor do they even say exactly what comes in the damn package.

The 1st link says 9 pieces, sounds like just about every hose hopefully including the ones going to the heater core. The 2nd link has more of the description in the title for my car, but it lacks to say how many pieces. Are D series and B series hoses the same besides the radiator ones?

OEM Honda is good for about 10+ years or so. Seems plenty long to me....

 

But OEM hoses don't stay nice looking, they get dull and grayish. That was my reasoning behind the silicone ones.

 

Silicone ones look dirty to after a while. People are just more prone to wiping them down because they are blue and look like crap with oil marks on them and such

I stick with black moulded hoses (not oem, just napa replacements) and wipe them down with wax and grease remover every so often after servicing parts or whatever and they all still look brand new.

I wouldnt waste the money on silicone, nor would I trust those ebay links

 

and worms clamps on everything is pretty unreliable to me, I dont trust them, and they chew the hose and look like junk. OEM style corbin clamps on everything is a MUST

 

Colored hoses are ****ing gay! Who said anything about blue hoses? I'd only get black. Also OEM Honda clamps are terrible! I'd rather worm clamps but T-clamps are far superior to both.
