Anyone tried this Summit Stainless Steel Radiator Hose?
Since I'm putting a 20B in my car, I have to custom make my radiator hoses. I was browsing summit's site, and despite the price of $140, I still like the looks of this piece and am thinking about using it.
Anyone have any first hand experience with something like this? Is it decent stuff?

48 in. long, polished radiator hose and cover kit
Summit's stainless steel hose bends and cuts easily, is non-corrosive and dissipates heat better than rubber. The kit includes one 48 in. length of hose, four ends, aluminum covers and stainless steel clamps.
Sold as a kit.

I have had it on my car for 3 years, and I like it alot. I don't think it's stainless steel because when you look inside it looks like copper. The hose will last a LONG time, but you'll need new ends once in a while. I've been using mine for 3 years without a problem. I got mine from a local shop. They're made by a company called Inglese.

Thats good news. Summit specifically calls them Stainles Steel, so I dunno. Can you find the Inglese version for less than $140?
