Silicone Vacuum Hoses

Do the universal kits of colored silicone vaccuum hoses fit our 3.0? How hard are they to put on?

MY GOD MAN...... YOU'RE AN ANIMAL!!!! How in the name of all thats decent am I ever supposed to catch up???
Sorry I have no expierience w/ the silicone kits. It seems to me there was a pretty broad selection of inside dia. hoses.... IF I'm thinking of the right things. Should be a do-able switch.

I ordered my hose from hose techniques. They have a sample pack you can order first to pick color and match sizes. I went that way because I customed my order with 2 colors and I wanted to do a few more hardline wraps than the kit would allow. I used Earls annodized clamp ends. They have matching zip ties you can use. Good product and service. Their site seems down tonight. Maybe try later...

A little over a hundred bucks...their stuff is high quality and an upgrade over rubber, plus it looks kool. Check out their site for more info and endorsements. Lots of imitators out there.

I am also using the Hose Tech line of silicone hoses & they are great. I didn't order a kit however. I just used hose I had left over from when I used to build up SAABs. I can't say enough about how good these hoses are. They fit really tight & are hard to remove. When I as running 20+ psi of boost on my last SAAB I would blow off some of the factory hoses. After I switched to the silicone lines that never happened again.
