Silicone vacuum hose kit on ebay

[WhyNot]

100,000 miles is like driving 14hrs a day streight, every day for maybe 3 years. WOW.

How long did it take them to drive 100,000 miles on this kit. Or it's BS.

the ad says...
We have personally put over 100,000 miles on one hose kit with no problems. probably shipping miles.
im not mathematistion but that like 10,000 times around the earth.

I bought the hoses for mine (minus the valve cover to TB and the ICV ones) for $5 at napa

That stuff is generic hose and not formed . Do like 5toes did and go buy generic black vac line for a few bucks and make your own. Personally id buy the OE pieces for the stuff that matters and get generic stuff for the rest
look closely at the ICV hose

Probably going to do this. But what am I looking closely at? That it doesn't look to be connected to the throttle body??

buy em if for no other reason then to just review them

I was gonna say "if you buy them for me sure!" I don't have disposable income to go out and buy stuff just to review it. The reason I started this thread was so I didn't have to be the guinea pig. Looks like I don't need to anyway.

Bought a black set for my e30 before I sold it. Nothing wrong with the hoses and they come numbered with a legend so you know what each hose is for, as well as some lubricant to make installing them easier.

Thanks for the info!

These are radiator hoses, not vacuum.

Those are just coolant lines though...
Looking and don't see formed vacuum lines.

Edit: what he said^

Why not just buy the OE part? If it's all in good shape there won't be a vacuum leak anyway, and it's not like they fail quickly. It's just that the leaky parts are probably 20+ years old by now.

I know the Mishimoto kit is over 450.00
86.00 shipped is much more logical, no clue if it is well made/hold up well.

If you buy this please give a review and internal pictures of the hose endings. Layers etc

Brandon this is the kit i actually got and thats why my icv connection was jus a solid piece of silicone. Also it doesnt seem to have the proper piece to run the line to the valve cover. Altogether its not too bad if you only need to purchase those 2 pieces separately.
