Default 944 8v Silicone Radiator Hose Kits

We are concluding our 944 Turbo Silicone Radiator hose kits. It only
makes sense that we take a good look at offering them for the 944NA
as well. This would be the 8 valve engines only for now.

They would be available in black, red and blue.

We are trying to gauge the level of interest. For the 944NA, don't hold us
to this, but likely in the $125-140 range.

A group purchase would be a good way to kick them off.

This is what the 944 Turbo hoses look like. You have fewer but about 3
are the same part.



What do you guys think?

Put me down as a possible at those prices.

A really good product you could offer (maybe you do?) is the NA power steering return hose section that is a different size on the reservoir end. It would eliminate buying a whole damn cooler section with hose ($180 or so) to get rid of a leaky joint.

what benefits would you get from using these instead of oem parts? are they more durable? do they aid in cooling at all?

Big intrest on my part. '87 924S. My question: what are the advantages? I know the cosmetic, and perceive a heat advantage. Any comment on this?
