Default Who is using Cool-flex hoses???

I had them on my 67 Nova, and they worked great. Know I'm thinking about putting them on my Vette. The upper hose don't look like a problem, but what length? What about the lower hose? Also I have a I/C Magnason and was thinking about doing the hoses coming off the back of the manifold. Anyone try that?
Info. and Pics. of any of this would help

We have them on both cars. Do not get Dexcool on any of the rubber parts and if you do clean them with denatured alcohol. This will prevent any blow off problems @ the radiator and engine. Once they are installed correctly, check them for tightness after the first fifty miles and there after at least every 500 miles. Hope this helps.

I did the upper hose and use the entire 2 foot piece they sent.

Nice device - but a little on the pricey side IMO.
