I just got these. they are OBX. same exact specs as samco's. lifetime warranty. 3 colors. black red and blue. fit perfect. look nice. $57.00 bucks vs. 170.00+. I will take it. also replaced ast hoses for alum. ast. going well. just got the defi boost g. in and waiting on my temp gauge. check the photos

 

How is the quality? Yeah the look nice but will they hold up?

Mitch

Also where did you purchase them?

 

yea obx was pretty shitty on the honda stuff...

 

old listing from the dead but .. im looking into putting samco hoses in but if these are just as good and held up then.. so how did these make out for ya..?

 

I've been running the OBX vacuum and turbo coolant hoses on my car for about two years and have not had one problem from them. I actually ordered the hosetechniques hose and did a comparison. There is no difference in the grade of silicone. I assume the radiator hoses should be of the same quality as the vacuum hoses

 

I got those OBX radiator hoses for my new engine.. I just need to find time to install all the stuff... when will that be.. hmm.

 

I have checked the OBX homepage ( http://www.obxracingsports.com/ ) but no vacuum hoses there...

Any places to buy these stuff?

 

I bought mine from a place here in Charlotte, NC

They cater more-so to the honda guys, but I know them and they're pretty cool. I'm not sure if they will ship overseas, but you could always try

 

There is nothing wrong with the stock hoses, which can be replaced for under $40.

 

Those blue hoses look only slightly better than pink ones

Go OEM!!!

 

That is a very unique sig .

 

let me know how good they hold up cause while my motor is getting rebuilt im going to change out all mine cause i was told they have never been changed

 

btw whay i have some obx coil overs on my accord and they ride good for coils and had them for over a year and no porblems except for tire wear which is cause of bad camber

 

Tnx GoodfellaFD3S

 

Yeah, except for the fact that they're rubber

 

Never had any problems with mine.. ?

 

no problems with my rubber hoses either. they lasted about 10 years on the car.

 

I guess I'm in the minority here... I bought the Samco hoses (upper & lower). Perfect fit and no problems what's so ever.

 

I think I need to clarify: I was refering to the vacuum hoses, not the radiator hoses. I agree that the radiator hoses are fine. I don't see the need to spend the extra money to replace them with silicone.

 

alright, the OBX radiator hoses are doing nicely, they fit perfect and are made of the same material as the Samco hoses, just not paying for the name. They match all the greddy couplers also. They are nice. You could go with stock hoses or get these if you like a little more customization. Its preference not quality in question here. F what people say all the time. It just does not seem "cool" to me to pay three fold for **** just to say you got it. I built a sick custom intake for less than 50 bucks off no name parts, **** paying 550.00 for some HKS. I know you guys will say "but they put a lot of engineering into them" yeah but it is not hard to make an intake and a lot of other things. Money don't grow on trees. Feel me.

 

for vacuum hoses, check Hose techniques or high temp silicone, period!!! I went with Hose Techniques because I wanted a color high temp did not have. hope this helps.

 

I want a color high temp silicone hose set thats why i asked.. not that i have problems with the stockers but i like to spice the looks of my car up a bit more.. anyways would you guys have a link to where you got the rad hoses (T2)

 

Hose Techniques hose is misleading. They suggest using 3.5mm for all the small solenoids. I personally am against using 3.5 mm because the nipples on the "ever so fragile" solenoids were designed for 4mm and you can bet your *** the first time you go to pull a 3.5mm hose from one of those nipples, it's gonna break and you're going to be out some cash. And yes you can go the "cut-n-peel" method, but then you ruin perfectly good hose. Plus, it's aggravating as hell trying to get those 3.5mm hoses on the solenoids. 4mm slides right on and the factory squeeze clamps (p/n: 9928-30-800 ) do an excellent job of squeezing and clamping.
