Any colour you like so they look pretty funky, will last ages too. Sparco do 'em but they are pricy.

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

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!!!
