Guys I found this material at Oreily Auto parts. Its Gates Coolant Hose

Part# 24240

This is 2.5inch and comes in 3ft sections for like 45$ They have any size from 5/8 up to like 6inches. I got 11 couplers out of this and if you do the math its like 3$ a Coupler.

If you have had Problems Like I have of Blowing out EBAY crap Couplers Then you need to go buy some of this.

Here is a Pics of the Ebay Crap



Here is a few Pics of the Gates Hose:







I was recommended this by Diesel Guys who have run 60+PSI and said they never have had a problem.

Best Bang for the buck guys!!

Ive been running that stuff for years. It is semi truck cooant hose. I got a big piece from napa for 20 bucks with my discount. It is awesome. With t bolt clamps it will never leak.

I can definitely second this. This stuff is beefy as hell and will NEVER bust. Ive got a buddy at oreillys that has an s14 so they never know and i get everything for the discount price lol. But you guys should look into getting some of this stuff. If theres not an oreillys near by then drive to one. Worth the trip for the extra reassurance that your s*** wont break when making real power. Just my .02

It's very hard to find silicon layered ic hose that doesn't need to be shipped in some places, like here, in fargo. However, there are at least 3 napa's and 4 orly's. I'll take this stuff if needed over silicon that needs shipping cost...
