Complain to Samco. Their original hoses were too short, but the new ones are perfect.

Samco said to f*vk off in more words, they don't sell their products or deal with them.

Default Brilliant. And with so many silicone hose suppliers coming online...

... that is exactly the kind of attitude that will put you out of business. Spent a whole semester at UCLA MBA school learning customer retention and churn modeling. You don't qualify as a churn candidate. Obviously, they have churned you anyway...

I agree... but no biggie, I can stretch the hose or move the X-pipe a little.

Default Really I'm suprised, when I did a GP with them they said...

any hose that has problems just return it and they would supply a new one but I was acting as the reseller for that GP. They probably want you to deal directly with the distributor you bought the hose from, they don't do direct sales...

P.S. Good luck finding another supplier to build these hoses, each one is hand made and requires an initial investment to make the tooling, etc...
