they serve no real purpose. the impala guys use them, and they require special hose clamps.
I use GM hoses, and they work fine.

The police cars use the silicone hoses.

I just pulled hoses off my SUV, 98000 miles on them, 6 years old, they were fine. The rubber wasn't even soft.

I have the original hoses on my 96 Impala, they are still fine, but I will replace them the next warm day.
