Stainless Ribbed Radiator Hoses
I've been look at these Flexi-Kool radiator hoses:
Flexi-Kool Radiator Hose
Are these good? Reliable? Would anyone be leery of these?
They say they don't crack.
Sure would be handy to install since I have a custom radiator in my car and can't use stock length hoses.
If anyone has experience with these (or similar) or just has an opinion, I would appreciate it.

I liked the fact that the hoses dissipate heat just like a radiator as they are not lined with anything.
When I first installed them I was worried about problems, but so far I'm happy. Let's see what happens 10000 miles down the road(if I live that long
)

How about some specs on the engine and powertrain?
Is the hood fully functional?
