OE, 1.70 per foot. After using the silicon, I much prefer this stuff.

Why, Darwin? Did you have separation issues with the silicone hoses?

Where do you want to start:
1. It's adversely affected by heat
2. It's adversely affected by oil
3. It's adversely affected by fuel
4. It cracks with age
5. It hardens with age
....etc, etc, etc

Silicon is a better all round performer and more reliable than rubber. Ask the condom manufacturers, they stopped using rubber in the 1920's in favor of more modern materials.

I prefer original equipment porsche rubber hose to a chinese recycled condoms any day. I think the real appeal is the pink hose option.

You can get pink if that sways your boat, they have them in black for a stock look. $170 (5x the price) for inferior Porsche OEM rubber and crappy plastic fittings or $35 for a superior product and metal fittings Lidnsey Racing , up to you.

One question I have with the Lindsey kit - it seems like it comes with 3-way connectors but my car has a few 4 way connectors on it. If replacing that with the lindsey kit would you just run two 3-way connectors in series, or is there a cleaner alternative?

You have 4 way connectors? I don't remember that. I've just used 2 3-way connectors. They're tucked under my intake, so you can't even see them unless you drag them out.
