I am a little concerned about heat issues and break down, since it is not "the form fitted hose", so I'd like some input on that.
Thanks
id shoot the Z1 guys a call/email or PM. its unacceptable for silicone radiator hoses to not fit perfectly. they are so simple to mold and form, no one should get them wrong!!
