Silicone Radiator Hoses?
So I searched the forums and searched the web and I have yet to find a silicone replacement for the radiator hoses on an N54.
On my previous cars, both M3's I replaced the radiator hoses with Samco silicone. I understand that there are fittings on the regular hoses, but either hoses that use clamps to the radiator/block or hoses that use existing hose fittings with clamps would be great. Is there an option I haven't found?

I don't think anyone makes them yet. The only reason ECS has started making the oil cooler to thermostat hose in silicone is because that is failure prone. I personally haven't seen any upper or lower radiator hoses fail unless they have had a significant amount of oil leaking on to them for an extended period of time.

Better off with the factory hoses and oem connections IMO.

Agreed. Especially given VTT's quality issues.

After looking at your website it looks like you sell the same Chinese stuff that everyone else sells.. ARM sells the same intercoolers and down pipes. DROP SHIPPING.. Just like VTT
