i have the red obx silicone ones. so far so good. and it kinda brings your attention away from the shiny header. oh yeah, got them off ebay. i installed them because those hoses i have are 5 yrs old. eventhough they're unscathed outside, hoses tend to slowly break up on the inside, then next thing you know, you're stuck on the side of the road.

A GA16 hose? As far as I know they only made S13 hoses..

any links other than ebay? I can't find them anywhere else..

Are they reinforced or just slick silicone?

I remember one company that want us (NPM) to try some, they gave us Civic hoses and told us to bend them...hahaha.... needless to say that never showed up as an article..
