What do you guys think?

The only thing I am not happy with is that return line size. I am picking up some smaller hose in the morning for that side and all should be well. How do you guys think it looks?

Looks good, I have the same ones. The clamp covers in the smaller size are blue. I ended up powdercoating all my fittings red to match the rest of my stuff.

Anyway, make sure you snug up the hose clamps after each of the 1st 3 heat cycles. They can leak a little, but after that, you are good to go.

looks awesome... except, if it were me, I wouldn't have entwined them like that. They have an extra twist that means you couldn't pull them up or down very far without the other one being in the way. know what I mean? It's a minor point, as I'm sure they don't bend much at all anyways, and you wouldn't want to move them much, but I would have put them in the other way.

That's going to be one of the first things I get for my new car, I think.

OH, they are actualy quite flexable. I put them that way so as not to have to bend the exit hose (one on the right in the pic) at to much of an angle. Long bends are much better on the life of the hoses vs. short bends.

As soon as I get the details worked out and some more supplies in, I should have them up on my site for sale as kits. (next week). I would feel more comfortable running a slightly smaller hose on the exit side but I will see how it works out tomorrow after some testing with them. I'll post when they are ready and I shlould be able to offer a real reasonable price on the set to listers.
