A cheap set could be worse than oem replacements with the hoses collapsing or deforming. Save a buy a decent set!

Stick with blue if you've got a few blue hoses under there already, keeps it looking tidy. As said save a little more and get Samco's, they'll last and look tidy for years.

I have thought about this for a while ,especially since i have samco induction & intercooler hoses already. The autobahnn 88 silicone hoses seem quite popular with quite a few members off here, so I was wondering whether to take the option or save for the remaining samco's.
