Sorry but $790 is way too much for the return. Bring the price down and you may get more action! Thee sae hosesif you search can be had for a lot less!

I have these hoses on my 2001 model and they've been on the car since summer 2007. They're very well made and I like them. I had a stock hose that was collapsing, which drove me to swap to these hoses... I bought them through another vendor way back then, and I think they were about $200 cheaper for the set, just as a comparison... Keep in mind inflation...We're talking four years here...

Exchange rate has not varied more than a few percent over the last 2 or 3 years.........!

$790 to $1100 is nearly 40%................................LOL

Forge Motorsport UK has set of 5 996 Turbo silicone hoses [which look the same to me] for UK Pounds 183.23; at today's exchange rate of $1.598 = $292.00.

Any idea how many hours a shop would charge for installation (no other work needed)?

If you included the F-hose, probably 3-5 hours. I don't think they'd be worth doing if you weren't already messing with the other systems and/or doing a leak test...

I've been running these the past few years with absolutely no problem. Forge also has a North American office in Orlando.

Thanks daytrip00. Already done all the other "messing" so will wait until leak test required or other reason to go in there (the engine compartment)

There are some really competetively priced units out there it seems. We have had good luck with the Samco products, so we chose to stick with what we know works. This is just the remainder of a previous project that was cancelled.
