Water / AC / Power Steering Hoses

Hey everybody,

I seen on Spike TV Show, ( Trucks or something like that) anyway this guy showed products / kits that I could replace all my hoses with the straied braided hoses, custom length. I dont recall the name of the company who made these hoses, and was wondering if anybody out there has these hoses and what company is the best for 3rd Gen Firebird. I want to replace all my hoses. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Brad

It's fairly easy to make your own hoses, custom length, custom color fittings, whatever you want.

Ever work on a car with braided hoses? Do you want the extra weight? How about the extra abrasion on your hoses? At least you'll get to replace them sooner. Ever wonder why extremely high pressure hoses DON'T have exposed braided coverings (as in 20,000 PSI hoses)? That's so 1940's...

Oh, sure, they LOOK "cool" - But a head-on crash "looks cool" to some people, too.
