Silicon boost hoses for 700kit
 
Guys, is this upgrade truly necessary at this power level, or are the factory boost hoses adequate. I drive agressively (when appropriate) and plan on 1-2 track days a year. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

waste of cash. I had em when I had my pcar and wish I bought inj and a fuel pump with that coin. I will admit I was pleased with the look. But for the coin. NoT worth it! I wasnt at 700hp but still had a 10 sec car. food for thought is all

Yeah, they definitiely look cool...but at this point I'm interested in function over form :) Thanks for your input DMaffo!

The only one you really need is the f-hose....

I've heard just the F-hose as well unless you have leaks, etc.

Some tuners say that silicone hoses are a must do, and others say that the stock hoses are fine. I guess it's all up to whom you want to believe. I replaced the stock F-hose with a silicone hose when I did the DVs. If I have issues with the stock intercooler hoses (I hope I don't), then I'll go with a new set of silicone hoses.
