FedEx delivered my new hose kit this morning.

I will install the 7 hoses, along with the catch can I bought previously, on Thursday. I will take plenty of pics in hope that one or two will adequately show the quality of Chips' product.

WARNING !! WEAR GLOVES !! Got bit twice already and haven't even started the install

Hey Larry, did the product Key make sense to you?

Tks

I'm assuming you are talking about the various hose kits and what hoses are included in each kit. Actually, that page listing the 'Hose Key' and the 'Product Key' completely tells me what kit I have purchased, or the one I need to purchase, to get the hoses I want, as well as where each end is connected. I think that page tells everyone EXACTLY how to identify every hose. Even though several of the hoses are the same diameter, they are differentiated by the length of the hose in inches. I simply look at the packaging around the hose, see that it is marked 'Hose C', then look at the Hose Key sheet and that tells me that 'Hose C' goes from the Overflow Tank to the Block. Thats about as simple as it gets. You did a great job marking and identifying each hose and where it goes.

I would concur with the product and hose key. Pretty straight forward and a monkey can figure it out. Now the actual installation, which on mine will take place on Saturday and include the upper and lower radiator hoses, might be a bit more difficult. I HEAR SWEAR WORDS IN MY FUTURE. Already have the old tshirt that I can throw away ready to wear. Like a water ride at an amusement park Chip should have included a disclaimer "You are going to get wet, VERY VERY WET".

Looking forward to the installed hoses and I will take some pics. Surely these will compliment my other bling under the hood.

So besides the 9 hoses now, will there be some more in the near future or is this all we can change out?

More than likely we will map the entire engine. Right now we're having
a hard time just keeping up with the demand for this set...

Hi Adam, I HAD the 9 set hose kit put on and it looks great. It took 2.5 hours and absolutely no mess to my engine bay. Honestly, I liked my FlexCool upper radiator hose better but I couldn't trust it. I'll probably be at the King of Prussia show, so see you then. Doug

Thanks Doug,

The vette's up at the body shop still, so it won't be there. I'll be over in the morning as I'll have to take off later that day for a business trip.
