Just want to save a massive thanks to Samcosport for the Silicone hoses they sent me on a VERY quick turn around,

Their hoses are amazing qualitity!! I just offered them up to the hold ones and they look amazing!

They currently only do 2 hoses for the Corsa C 1.8 SRi, however im going to hopefully get them to make me some more up!!

Heres a few pics

Bet this cost a fair bit. Totally pointless IMO. Only worth it if you get more than 2 pipes and if you have hoses everywhere, like on a turbo car.

Samcosport supplied them to me.

Like i say JR, all other hoses will be getting done also.

These are just coolant hoses.

Its a funny one,

Pipercross hoses are an extremly good, strong hose...

They have plus sides to the samco, i.e. take a higher melting point, cheaper, more flexable, more usees etc etc,

however the samco ones will be stronger i think,

Also samco is like a brand name... so i guess you kinda pay for that...

Pipercross hoses are not silicone, they are made from a type of rubber!

Burst pressure differences for EPDM (Pipercross) and silicone hoses are negligible as when you get to the extremes where each hose is at it's limit, the fixings and clamps would have given way a lot sooner.

Also, silicone hoses are porous... not really ideal for liquids like coolant
