Time to replace the radiator hoses, what do you think about these?
I see on ebay that there's some aftermarket silicon hoses, but unsure of quality.
Has anybody bought any of these? What are your opinions?
these are $56
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-9...spagenameZWDVW
these are $79
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=270168840835
Rx7.com sells OEM for $39 + shipping
I know Samco is good but they are just over $100
What hoses did you go with? What are some good deals?

The OE hoses are quite good, and the fit properly. I went with a full hose "kit" from Ray at Malloy. 888-533-3400. His prices, knowledge, and service are better than almost anywhere else.

Where can you get braided sleeves from to fit over the hoses? I saw a car with them braided and it looked sweeeeeeeet! Not just the rad big ones but the small ones aswell...

I have the Blue OBX ones. OBX makes good stuff believe it or not. They make a few things for the Rx-7 to. Very good quality and fits just like stock. i think i got them when they were 49 but they always vary in price depending on who's selling them. And another plus is their made out of silicone. There top notch and a good buy.

I just recieved those OBX hoses and haven't installed them yet. I suggest going with another brand because.....
the insides of these things have silicone nibblets through out. These bumps and imperfections are not weak enough to break off, but they will disrupt the flow. Good or bad, who knows? But, why experiment when you have other, smooth, options?
I haven't seen the insides of another set of OBX FD hoses so mine might be out of the norm.

Thanks for all the info, I ended up getting a PM from sombody seeing this thread,and he offered me new Samco hoses that he couldn't use since he went with a V mount setup,and gave me a good deal on it.
