I want to clean up all of the ugly stock hoses that came under the hood of my 99 accord. I've already replaced the intake and am going to get new red spark plug wires.

I've searched for better looking hoses, ex; the radiator hose, but havn't found anything other than the black rubber. I want to replace the hoses with maybe a braided stainless steel. Are there any kits out there that i can do this with?

Here is the engine now.

There are wrap kits. Also, OBX makes red and blue silicone radiator hoses for Accords. Hose techniques makes silicone hoses for vacuum lines and such. I have a pic of the blue that I used.

You can probably find them for cheaper than that^. I just remembered that JCWhitney sold them.
Pretty clean engine compartment!
Is that an Apexi filter on your SRI?

 

Nope, ebay. >.<

Before you say "zomfg don't use teh ebay" I don't drive until april 30th. It's sitting in the driveway. Also, despite what others say, i see nothing wrong with the filters.

thanks for the info falkore. can any of the hoses be replaced with silicone?

 

I'd leave the fuel lines alone .... also, I didn't do the brake booster hose because it is pretty large and reinforced. Most of the silicone hoses are a touch smaller inner diameter than the hoses that they replace. The added flex strength makes up for this IMO. Also, the vacuum hoss that are only for controls really don't have any airflow to be concerned about.
