This is an stronger alternative to OEM hoses! These hoses have 3 or 4 PLY reinforcement depending on inner diameter compared to OEM hoses that mostly have 1 PLY reinforcement. Another advantage of these hoses are the silicone material that withstands high temperature for long time.These hosekits are a terrific upgrade if your original hoses starts to crack from age or maybe you use your car in a way that the original hoses where not designed for.
