Silicon Hose Kit

[Schudini]

Does anyone know of a place that sells silicon hose kits for a '92 GP with a 3.1? I need to replace the hoses and thought about upgrading them anyway.

 

Also, is silicon really better or is it just marketing hype and ricer-ness?

 

 

(Edit: I'm referring to radiator hoses, not vacuum hoses)

Police cars use them, so they can't be that bad. I don't know of any kits for that car and engine however.

me either, though ive never looked into them before.

 

As far as their performance, this is from Samco Sport Silicone.

Silicon hoses operate at much higher temperatures and pressures than other rubber.

 

for our cars, this really would be more of a visual upgrade.

That's what I thought, not worth the 10x increase in price.
