Has anyone tried the 100% silicone radiator hoses found on e-bay?

Not on the yaris but , ran some of those Obx radiator hoses on my old eclipse turbo and they worked great . I don't really see any reason to "upgrade" the raditor hoses unless you have 100k+ miles and were gonna replace the hoses anyways . Mabey if you're building your yaris for some serious track laps where the temps would be high, these would be insurance against busting your rad hose

it's a show mod. but if the silicon hoses are cheaper from ebay than buying toyota rubber ones, maybe that's the route you'll want to go. please buy black ones.. lol

is it really a show mod? ive never really looked into it, i thought Samco's handled heat/pressure better.

but yeah, black is where its at.

i was told that silicon hoses were just for looks and the stock toyota rubber hoses were by far better

I melted a few silicon vac hoses on my old MR2 durring a few SCCA events

went back to the stock rubber and never had another issue
