local motorfactors.
the pukka stuff has the overbraid and looks a bit like fuel line. but the normal rubber stuff's more than up to the job, and won't fail split like that cheap[ silicon stuff will.
seen more thana few cossies with boost issues all caused by using that cheap shit that splits in 5secs

IT MELTED. Bulged and then popped.

Mine has been on for over 6 months with no problems, and it gets hotter under the bonnet than my cossie ever did!

i use Rally design for my hoses, and its better hose than most.
