Let us know what you think of the quality when you get them in. Would definitely go well with the blue Magnacore wires!

hmm, OPs Last Activity: 09-26-2017 07:14 PM. I can only assume the worst from these hoses...

OPs link is still live(but it doesn't look like they are shipping to the US) and it looks like they are more common on ebay than they were before and now in more colors.

Glad you revived this post...
I recently bought a 3-ply silicone black set from an ebay seller from China with high feedback scores. They originally set the price at $120 with a “best offer”. Me being the stingy person that I am and was full of Lagunitas beer, I submitted an offer of $80 and thought “WTH! If they reject it, I’ll find another seller that has 4-ply silicone set.” Well, they accepted my $80 offer + free shipping! Stoked!
I’m waiting on them now though I’ll probably receive them from China on Valentines Day. Lol

I just ordered a set as well. I didn't see an option for make an offer so I ended up paying $109. I guess we'll have some reviewing to do when they get off the boat.

Initial looks seem good. I'll be pairing it with a factory PEL500110 and an aluminum radiator.

Hey guys, awhile back I was searching for silicone hoses as well. I thought the company called Samco would have them as they are based in the UK (I Think!) After I emailed them they responded as not having them for our vehicles so I gave up. I use their hoses on my sportbike because they are excellent quality and quite popular in the motorcycle world. Im gonna try and order from the link that was posted next month. I gave up cuz I didnt wanna buy the chinese ones. Ill report back if I get them...

Those look good. I’m still waiting on my hoses.
I asked the seller what the clamp sizes were for each hose connection (since I want to buy spring clamps) and he emailed me this...

Good lord could they have used anymore different sizes lol.. I assume they took OD measurements, I will check what mine are.

The supplied measurements are indeed Inner Diameter, which is pretty much useless except to make sure that they made the hoses fit the vehicle intended.. Here are the Outer Diameters in blue.
