Silicone Hoses

[GRRRR8]

I just got my RED hoses from Mike @ Jetttstream. These hoses are unreal. They match the car close and are very shiny. So, I have a thought for you G8ers, what if we could have upper and lower hoses, heater hoses and the coupler hoses for RotoFab in the same exact color. That would be SIC! Now we will have a little color under the hood, an easy mod to do and be getting rid of the funky factory heater hoses in 1 shot. PLEASE post here if you have an interest in this. I will take a pic in natural light tomorrow so you can see the quality.

I'd take your heater hose kits but with silicon hoses to match my body color in a heart beat! I'd probably take the upper and lowers too. I don't need the coupler though.

Oh and BLACK is my color.

These will look really good in any color!

Is that saying you will do it?

[MANOFSTEEL69]

Definately interested if it comes in a fast color.....like orange!

[GRRRR8]

Here are some pics in sunlight. Much like my car, the red is so red that it almost looks orange in sunlight/pics. You can see the quality and the thickness in the pics.

I still need somemore feedback on interest. If we can get 12 people that have an interest, it will allow Mike to figure out cost. Anytime something is being custom made it is always cheaper to get at least 12 or more so it saves everyone $$$$.

What's the benefit of silicon hoses over regular? Longevity?

Longevity and look. Our underhood is pretty dull as you know, so I think with the 4 hoses and couplers(even for the PC, he would need to know sizes) that adds a lot of tasteful color to break it up. I will do: 4 hoses and couplers, red coils, polished catch can with red braided hoses ad nickle fittings, red fuel rails and polish all the alum. a/c lines. That should look really good with the STB being highly polished as well.

Silicone hoses operate at much higher pressures and much higher temperatures than other rubbers, they don't disentegrate or break down, and they look awesome.

These particular hoses are 3-ply and are 5mm. I would have gone 4-ply but they would have been harder than a steel rod!

Charlie, Is it just me, or does your pix #4 look like a striking Cobra????

Colored hoses on a red car - O.K. On a white car????? Maybe black silicone.....

LMAO! I figured I would throw that out there. :)

[R.Penguin]

"RED goes with everything!"

My hose used to be redder back in the day when I could find it. :p Charlie, please don't start in about all the different DICS you have known over the many years! Frankly the grandkids are somewhat embarassed. :nah:

Same here, I missed there sale by a day when they sold out...bumed.

[Chewy]

OTA!!! Anyone know where I can find some silicon hoses for the G8? I had a set on my GT, but of course sold it with them. It looks as if Jetttstream went under.

[Dru]

Sucks I bought several things from them when I had my 06 AWD Trailblazer SS :(

[SRG963]

I slept on these when available, damn-it. Now I really want some in black :(

Those could be a hot commodity!

[Napalm]

surely there are other silicone hose options - just need lots more fitment work.

[IndyGT]

Somewhere I have a blue Jetttstream OTR intake hose that I'm not using.

[J Wikoff]

Is it weird if I want a red one for the hot side, and a blue one for the "cool" side?

[MongosG8]

Not unless you switch to the 08-09 water pump...

[MongosG8]

LOL!! .. I was considering at one point because I wanted Red.
Maybe I should've put them on auction when they were the only ones out there .. if you could find them ..;)

Exactly! Should send Eric a message and see if he's for making some... I'd bet not! Oh, and I'm NOT changing the water pump! This baby is stock! :)

[kevinm0131]

FYI, here is a link to the manufacturers page:

[Chewy]

Bastards even show a GXP on that page, but no hose love for the GXP! :)

[Ben2009GT]

I bought a set of red ones and they are very nice.

Was the bottom hose a bitch to put on? Heard others having an issue with the bottom hose thought I ask.

[Ben2009GT]

No it was the top one that was a pain. But remember I was putting my car back together so it wasn't really that bad.

After doing some investigating it looks like that is coming from site sponsor GTOG8TA! Exact same photos for their vendor parts on their website and ebay store front. I knew I should have been a detective...

A really good detective would've read the next post in the thread and realized someone already pointed this out. :D

We are in fact making these and have them in stock. They are manufactured for us by Cold-Case.
We are different companies but under the same ownership and people. If we get enough demand for the GXPs, we will do them!

im guessing the 2014-16 chevy SS would be the same as the GXP , both using the LS3 and updated water pumps

I believe the SS has an oil cooler like the PPV and Camaro that has a coolant line which tees into the upper radiator hose.

hmm , well that sucks then , thought it was worth a shot

If someone can confirm, we'll definitely do it then.

[Chewy]

I know someone with an SS... I'll see if he can get me detailed photos.

[eric_cspan]

If we can confirm they are the same hoses, I'll get originals in and get them done!

[s/c'd cav]

the SS does have a oil cooler and it does have a coolant line going into the upper hose

BUT , the T for the cooler line , is a serviceable piece , not the best pic but should be good enough , so all the SS owner would need to do is cut a couple inches out of the hose and slip the T in and clamp it

[captainmal]

Do these last?

[MongosG8]

Do these last?

Yes they do. I still have a brand new set of the original blue Jettstreams. Much better than stock
