sorry Russ. the original question did not ask for altenatives just opinion on the said products. I added the other advise after the thread digressed a bit. BTW. XRP also makes a nice Nomex type black hose. Look on EBAY under Startlite hose and you can pick it up much cheaper in many cases or go to Racecityraceparts.com for a good selection usually. It is very pricey if you buy it new.
