Let's talk about hoses - CZP, Z1, Samco
 

Currently taking care of some maintenance on my '08 G37S with 103k miles. Looking to replace the hoses under the hood with high quality silicone ones. From the research I have done I have come across a few options. I haven't seen many reviews for them so I wanted to ask the community.
Options:

Concept Z Performance

Z1 Motorsports

Samco


It seems CZP and Z1 both sell a similar product for basically every hose under the engine bay. Has anyone had experience with these?

Samco appears to just sell the Radiator hose kit. Anybody tried these on their G?

Thanks in advance!

How many more miles do you plan on putting on this car? Will it be worth the money?

I keep cars until they die pretty much. I plan on having it for awhile.

You'll find very few people who have had more than one of them because they last the lifetime of the car. They're all high quality and pretty much equal. Samco only sells the upper, lower, and reservoir hoses, the others make some of the accessory hoses to dress up the engine bay more. Get whichever strikes you fancy with confidence that it's as good as any of the others.

Upgrade to T-bolt style clamps while you're changing them out.

Thanks for the recommendation Black Betty! :biggthumpup:

Would anybody else like to chime in?

Always love hearing what the community has to say!

My roommate has CZP red hoses and hasn't had any problems. But, even OEM hoses would probably last a lifetime assuming you never overheated so this is over the top BUT, I do love the way they update the engine bay.

Thanks Kris9884!

Still debating on which color I would actually go with.

heres a tip do not use silicone hoses for the pcv hose. the oil will "sweat" of of the hose and coat the outside of the hose with oil

Sounds like you're speaking from experience :)
