check the ebay ones. I'm not sure on their quality, but they're silicone and I think OBX might make a good set??

you'll have a hard time finding parts for our cars that aren't cheap.

Stay away from the Ebay ones. I went that route and they (OBX) didn't have the right hoses for 2nd Gens. At least the right ones for an '01 w/ A/C. I don't recall the seller's name on Ebay right now (Boombop maybe??), after I explicitly requested and paid for the rad hoses for my car (01, ATX, with A/C) I received a set for a 1st gen. I ended up returning them to the seller for a full refund.

Everything I have found for a second gen is for the SRT. The lower hose will work, but the upper has a bend at the thermostat housing that our cars don't have. On a non-magnum engine this may work (not sure though) but on my ACR the hose was pressing against the intake too much for my tastes.

Agreed, that, and the upper rad hose is about 1' too short, which makes it useless to us, Mag or non Mag.

Verocious Motorsport sells great stuff. I bought various 1' lengths of silicone hose for the Daytona from them. I used it for my turbo oil return and a few other things.

thx for the info jonny....how do they hold up under preassure and heat....any pics by chance? im assuming in ur progress thread maybe?

Not sure about pressure, but if it can take the heat of the oil coming out of the turbo, plus it's located right next to the exhaust, then I'd say it's plenty good for me. I'll see if I have any pictures of my home-brew return line.

I'm not sure if they make any Neon related hoses, but I've heard that Samco hoses are pretty good...
