Default How many people are running with silicon hoses?

I don't know if I should get a silicon hose set...? Any recommendations?

Default I have the samco but would advise against it unless you really want all the pretty colors.

IMHO, there is nothing wrong with stock except for the TBB. Buy better clamps or just replace the ones that are damaged.

Default Ditto on staying away from the Samco. Mine expanded and slipped off completely

They stretch, over time they stretch to the point where even with a great hose clamp, they won't stay on.

Kind of like cinching up baggy jeans with a belt, your boxers will still show.
