Silicone comes in about any color you could want. All mine are black.

Can you find the rice in this picture?

Yeah! What about that riced out bling bling hood prop huh?? lol

And as far as someone mentioning silicone being inferior to any type of other hose available - not a chance.

Provided its ACTUALLY silicone, and not that "silicone" shit that you buy in a box at Autozone - it will probably outlast your car.

My turbo oil drain is pure silicone, 5/8", and has been through 5 engines and over 35,000km's in total. I just pulled it off and its still fine......this is an OIL DRAIN, so its constantly full of 180* + oil and sits beside my 1500F exhaust manifold (although I wrapped it where its close)

Definetly no disadvangtes running it.

My vac lines are black silicone/viton mix. Bought through speedmachine back in the day (the fact that I bought them from Speedmachine should tell you how long they've been in service ) and have been on and off more times then I can count, and been driven as many miles as the oil drain.
