im about to replace some vac. hoses under my hood, and decided to go for colored ones. i hear that silicone hoses are a good choice.
i checked ebay, and my question is are they reliable? i mean im not running any serious mods, just headers and an intake on a stock 5s. can i trust these ebay silicone hoses? i also need dimensions of which to get ? 4mm? 5mm? 1/4?  if ur about to ask: "what hoses are u looking to replace?" answer: im looking to replace as many simple hoses as i can without really any difficulty so -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

they look very out of place IMO.
also the larger diameter ones seem to collapse under vacuum i'd get the 4mm ones.. u can easily stretch them 1mm if u need to lol -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
