I thought they looked familiar. I am going to order them. Did you notice a difference?

I had a couple of stock hoses that were shot when I replaced them with the silicone versions, so in that respect YES - big difference! One thing I recommend is to use the lubricant included in the kit on the fitting ends when installing the hoses. It makes it much easier! The silicone hoses reportedly do better with higher temps and are supposed to last longer. That's why I went with them. Easy upgrade and look good, too!
