I'd be surprised if you could get the formed hoses for a Corvette in silicone but you can use it for your heater and smaller coolant hoses. I'm going to use it on these but only because I have a bunch of it. If I had to buy it, I'd say screw it because the stuff is damned expensive.

pretty sure Summit carries the hose set lower,upper and heater hose in the blue silicone for the TPI C4s...might be wrong but give them a look.

they'll hold up at 600*F, last forever, and they look pretty sweet too since you can get them in four different colors

this is a good site: http://www.turbohoses.com/index.html I wonder how hard it would be to piece something together? I want to buy a big 4" piece to replace my intake to TB piece

This link seems to work:

http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...=egnsearch.asp

BTW, these are very interesting. . .thanks for the tip about them! They look like a very good value for the money and are worth looking into further. A good link I just looked at is:

I use the smaller ones to replace all the #@()&*)#$ brittle formed-plastic vacuum hoses that crack when you look at them. Also the dry-rotting black rubber vac lines from the canister and such. I bought a bulk-pack of lines that came in three different sizes.

I've looked at both the Samco Sports site and Forgemotorsport.com -- I don't see a kit for a C4. How did you work it out?
