I was wondering if anyone has got or knows where to get hoses the right size and fitment for stainless steel hoses for under the hood??? I REALLLY Want to get them for the cooling and fuel lines. i think it would be a great addition and they make your engine bay much cleaner and less cluttered i think.

i found a couple sites that make the hoses to specific lengths, but i was wondering if anyone has done this with a company already and what company was it. thx,

the sits i found are here (www.paragonperformance.com) and here (http://www.bonacoinc.com/)

yea they would look awesome. i'm gonna ask a few friends on honda-tech where they got theirs. and if they mad them themselves, i'll slide him a few benjamins to make me a kit... :rockon:

the main reason i am wanting to do this is because i'm gonna remove power steering pulley and belt, ant T into the line and make a resevior for it to run on... sounds confusing but it works, my buddy did it to his civic so it doesn't have to rob power from the engine to turn the car. and i'm also going to remove a/c cause i honestly dont like ac, and it doesn't work.

i'm wanting to get new radiator hoses, vacuum lines, fuel and brake lines, so i'll pretty much never have to worry about anything going wrong unless its engine/electrical or engine/mechanical, or the tedious stuff like suspension.

any help would be appreciated.:)

i was looking at a kit that just goes over the rubber hose. since tecnicall your not gaining any power from the stainless hose it dident make a diffewrence. ann the ends have -an type fittings so you can make it look real clean like there arent any rubber hoses at all. i think the last place i seem them was ebay and summit

YA, there isn't any real difference other than looks, i dont want a cheap dress up kit tho, those look real bad and aren't very clean. i've seen plenty of cars with the sleeving kits, i want a real kit....

Those kits aren't worth the money. I bought one a while ago and the braiding just flakes away, because they aren't made the best.

I think they even discolored from the heat of the engine too. They are made out of cheap metal!
