The ones in the picture were cheaper than most and they seem to be working fine for me. Certainly no trouble with the clips not holding and the hoses that are clamped on the ICs aren't leaking.

 

Thanks everyone for their input.

 

My bad the stock hoses have been updated to reinforce the area around the clip seats. Forge is decent but not as well fitting as the stock hoses. If i had to do it all over, I'd go with new stock hoses on any sub ~650hp build.

 

One thing guys DO NOT buy the forge hoses with the jubilee clips, the clips get in the way when fitting through the the inner wings to the IC

 

forge are good... oem too...

 

Forge have jubilee clips instead of flat clamps holding the billet ends to the hose, when the IC's are bolted into the cars you cant get the hose out because the clip will not pass through the inner wing.

 

I installed a set of Forge hoses and mine aren't like you describe. Mine have clamps that hold hose to billet fitting and use the factory spring clips to hold fitting into IC's. I had to trim off a little from the upper hoses for perfect fit. I like them.

 

These are the same as the forge hoses I had! a PITA

 

I ended up buying an oem hose some new o-rings. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

 

Good move you should be fine.
