How and why are these better than the factory hoses?
The ones on my car lasted 20 years and I replaced them all with new factory hoses and I expect them to last another 20 years, what makes the custom ones better?
Not knocking them, just not sure I see a need for a better hose on stock cars.

The hoses on EBAY for $120.00 are made in China, I don't know if that matters anymore. There were a couple of hundred vendors from China at SEMA this year taking orders on all kinds of aftermarket, and reproduction automobile parts. I would buy a complete set if you decide to offer them Rodger.

, mine still look good on my S4, they sure are in better condition than the leaky ones I changed on a friends 91 accord 4 years ago. I guess there must be something that I have not experienced yet on my car, since several people are interested.

The ones that I would recommend be supplied are the ones for the heater system. They are the only ones that actually fail.
I have yet to see either of the 2 large hoses in the front need to be replaced.

I'd love to have a full set of silicon hoses. Definitely one for that little hose that goes to the heater valve. I am on my third already.

There was another thread where another company had already started production of the hoses.
I did not want to reinvent the wheel.
