Replacement hoses, silicone?

Post by E21noob »

Many of the hoses on my engine are due for replacement. I have noticed that many of you choose silicone or braided steel spun hoses instead of OEM.

Found these:

and these:

Curious to know what people are using and what the consensus is regarding alternatives to OEM hoses.

Cheers,
Dan

Brrr I hate them. My personal opinion? No added value whatsoever and completely ruins classic looks.
