We have the ability to make some silicone hose kits for the KA24DE in a couple different variations. I am interested to see if anyone would be interested before we do the research and spend the money to get them made.

So, in short, would you be interested in one of the kits that is listed below?

Just to make things easier, which hoses are being replaced? Or is it simply a matter of buying whatever hose diameter from you guys? Also, are there to be color options?

For $130, I want upper and lower rad hoses and enough Vac tub to do the whole motor.

If by 2 hoses you mean 2 hoses each one being 10 feet, then I'm down.

Thanks for the replys everyone!

Looks like we wont be making these because I have checked out the market and pricing available elsewhere and it looks like we don't need another vendor selling these things.

Thanks!

Just wondering, what's wrong with rubber for the coolant hoses? If the cooling system is adequate, the hoses shouldn't see high pressure/heat, any moreso than in stock form.

I would buy the 2 Hose kit ($135-$165). I would really like to get an aftermarket upper radiator hose. The stock one is butt ugly.

Never tried to install them - Still in the packaging.

I'd take $50 for the pair, I paid $60 each - Decided to do something different...

Locked, AMS doesn't even sponsor Nico anymore. Not to mention their last group buy hasn't even been settled yet and customers have been waiting months for their manifolds...supposedly there is no steel available
