Titanium VS Silicon Radiator Hoses

To clarify what you probably saw is not a full hose. Meaning it's a S type tube with 2 small silicone hoses attached to it.

If it is then it's for appearances since TI would be an overkill since the cooling system doesn't need to see more than 20lbs even on a VQ.

Does nothing other than provide looks. Well it strengthens this area of the cooling system just a bit since it wouldnt swell over time like regular full hoses.

Again, this swelling wont happen if temps and pressures are kept stable.

Yea exactly it had to silicon couplers with just the TI s bend. I was originally worried about the vibrations but every seems to agree it's not really bad since there are silicon couplers.

Thought it looked pretty cool but didn't want to just do it for looks if there was any draw back from a performance stand point, but figured there wasn't any real gain beside bling factor haha

I'll try and put some pictures up tonight after work.
