Anyone heard of Bomz Coolant Hoses

[clr1024]

Has anyone heard of the brand or know the reputation on Bomz coolant hoses?

They sell a kit here for $110. Yes I know the link looks weird with the toyota in it but it still pulls up the NSX kit.

Much cheaper than the Venair, never heard of Bomz, but then again until I went looking at hoses, I hadn't heard of Venair or Samco either. Anyway it's much cheaper than the kit SOS sells. So was just wondering if it was a good deal, or not.

If they're anything like their air filters, then they're crap and will fall apart.

I always heard that name with crappy intakes and mufflers...

Well not exactly the feedback I wanted to hear, wonder if anyone has actually used their hose kit. I can't imagine they made a kit without getting interest first. I wish Samco still made the six piece set. I know they have good ratings, haven't heard about the venair(SOS) ones.

It's weird to me that the application is for 1991-1998.

I don't know the specifics of the parts but I would expect them to be any of these date ranges instead:
1991-2001
1991-2005
1991-1996
1991-1994

And another note, I think Bomz was a popular brand commonly found on eBay. I had one of their intake systems for my Civic . . .

Interesting point. Looks like an 8 hose kit but can't imagine what's different between 98 and 99.

I e-mailed Samco to see if they would make the 6 piece kit again...will see. They have two piece kits, wonder why they stopped making the six piece? Demand?
