Default Agency Power TC Silicon Hoses for radiator*Possible GB*PICS!





Here's a quick shot of the black hose to compare it to OEM. Better pictures will be up soon, as well as pictures of the other colors.(There's a lower radiator hose not pictured, total of 2 hoses)

I just wanted to see how many of you would be interested in picking up some silicon hoses for the TC(Radiator) They are made from strong durable silicon 4 ply and will improve the flow over the stock hoses. Add style and safety to your engine and coolant system. The colors are Red, Blue and Black. MSRP is $150 if I can get enought people I can try to get it started at $130 shipped. The kit would include the upper and lower hose(2 total) I'll start to make a list now.


NEED 15 PEOPLE FOR THIS PRICE!!!!


1. Chico
2. Malina
3. The Guff
4. Scottsdale TC
5. BigPinoyTC
6. Shifty
7. mksm2000
8. Hayashi
9. bryoninscion

Silicon hoses operate at much higher temperatures and pressures wich reduces the risk of failure. Plus is a good up grade to have for those that are planning on going with a turbo set up in the future since the hoses can stand more heat in the engine bay plus they will add more color to your engine bay.

so if u're not planning on going turbo, other than the fact that it looks better, there's not really much point to it?

Well actually there is a point to it. Thermal expansion of the stock hoses can be exponetianal especially at an operating temperature when your motor is hot in the middle of the day driving down the road with the summer heat. Have you ever seen radiator hoses bubble? I have seen it many times and it is kind of just a safety precaution so that you are not driving down the road and all of a sudden Kabbom, you have no more radiator fluid and you are stuck. It may not happen often but the silicone hose has twice the life of an OEM hose. And on top of all of that they look bad ___. So my question isnt why, it is why not? And combined with the turbo kit it adds a lot more funtion as well fashion.

If you live in the desert that gets to 100 degrees or better in the shade then you need all the protection you can get. It was 110 degrees today in the shade, the infrared temp gun will read a whopping 260 degrees on the hood of a black car!

Performance wise, I would say the hoses add more performance than your AEM oil cap and TRD Radiator cap you have. Like mine, the colored hosese, AEM oil cap and TRD radiator cap add a 10 on the visual scale. Wouldn’t you agree?
