bluesuby Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I have seen silicone hoses which claim to be a lot better, but they are very expensive. They do come in some nice colors if you are dressing up the appearance of your engine. I do question the value of super strong silicone hoses because the heater hoses are still only available in standard rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Mishimoto Rad hoses from my favorite vendor. I have something similar in blue in my car. Matching heater hoses can be make with ots silicone hose + fittings. Loads of nice ways to dress up your engine bay. http://www.infamousperformance.net/servlet/the-48/Mishimoto-Subaru-Legacy-GT/Detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddog Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Is the 2.2 different from the 2.5 for the radiator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Trendz Inc. Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 why in the world would anyone pay 90 dollars for some radiator hoses? And anyways why are they so expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Why in the world would anyone replace a perfectly good set of wheels with something more attractive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Trendz Inc. Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Because wheels are constantly seen by the public? But then again maybe you drive without a hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean people replace wheels because OTHER people see them? No man. Because the owner likes it and likes to see it. If blue rad hoses make the owner happy, they are easily worth twice the price of oem. Hard to put a price on happiness. Personally I'm a fan of all-go, no show, sleeper style but I do like a nice clean an dressed up engine bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
