Are the stainless steel hoses wrapped around regular hoses? Do they last longer than regular hoses? I know the silicone hoses are supposed to last longer and they do help the engine pop for show.

IMO adding colored ones really clutters up the engine bay. I've always thought of opening the hood like opening a box of jewelry. You want the engine to be the diamond... the focal point.
I think all of the hose kits vendors sell are mfg. by samco, but I could be wrong. Are your hoses brittle etc.?
My '01 Z06 w/ 83,xxx miles still has the original hoses. I just had them out when I put a stock radiator back in and all looked great... all were soft and pliable.

here's mine, got them from LG Motorsports - no complaints and they were a nice upgrade while i was switching everything out anyways. I think they'll last longer than the OEM hoses too, but only time will tell for that.
