Re: Silicon water pipe info?
Any colour you like so they look pretty funky, will last ages too. Sparco do 'em but they are pricy.
If it ticks over...leave it
Re: Silicon water pipe info?
Last longer, don't kink as easily and are often easier to remove after a few years unlike stock hoses.

I got my full set from ebay.com Came from asi in shanghai
My original hoses had started to get a little crispy. Iirc they were around 60 quid delivered.
Been on the car A few years now with no problems
I ordered the red ones which must of added at least 50bhp

Re: Silicon water pipe info?
Im using a big long silicone hose as my top pipe... its just a standard straight hose, but considering it's too big for both of the connectors I'd say it seals up better than rubber!!!
