Silicone post MAF tubes and more

I now a number of members have the silicone post MAF intake tubes and other silicone hoses under the hood from various makers like Z1, Samco, HPS, etc. My specific question is, does anyone know of any manufacturer that produces any of the silicone hoses for our cars (MAF tubes, coolant, etc.) that don't have any manufacturers logo on them? Or know of a way to take it off of the hoses without damaging them?

For what it's worth...

Installed the Mishimoto tubes upside down, due to the layout of the breather tube. Can't see the M and looks clean.

Thanks. I wondered about that. But for the other hoses like coolant etc. they can only be routed one way.

Z1's have them on both sides.. FYI.

That's the maf tubes and small breather hoses.

Z1 are the ones I want. I just don't care to have their logo prominently throughout my engine bay. I wish they would just offer plain ones with no logo.

I agree. That was the first thing I looked for, looked under and the logo was on both sides. You can't really scrape it off without damaging the silicone. I ordered them as a temp fix until my twins are installed. Removed the titanium TS and needed a quick fix.

You could order the HKS ones from nengun performance. Those have HKS logos... Little more baller for us brand ******

Actually, after I thought about it I won't need the post MAF hoses because the turbo air intake tubes I'm installing will replace that part anyway. Duh! The PCV, brake booster, and coolant overflow hoses are barely seen. The upper an lower radiator hoses are the only ones where it will be noticeable but I guess the Samco ones I have now aren't really bothering me much so I guess it'll be OK.

False alarm.
