Have used them, they're not too bad, not really worth the effort over the stock hoses IMO.

If you're cutting up hoses to fit a water temp sender for aftermarket guage or similar then it saves chopping up the stock hoses.

If their silicone hoses are anything like their headers, I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole...

u can find these on ebay but do not bid on these, contact the seller and he will arange a privite international sale for you. your looking at about $120 at the currant exchange rate

some of obx's products are not the best, these ar multi layered high quality silicone, any way ill let u guys know on the quality when they arive

their quality control is a bit hit and miss, you find this out when you order multiple sets at once. Some can have thin/soft spots where they miss stop/start the winding mid-piece. All luck of the draw really. We got 3 sets and 1 had a soft-spot mid hose, didn't matter too much as that part was cut out to fit a sender adapter.

update: hoses have arived and have been installed

overall i was impressed with the kit, fit was perfect and the silicon was triple layered where the the stock hoses are double rubber style, has a good shiny finish with obx printed on both hoses. would i recomend these? yes, there not a huge difference over stock apart from looking the goods. overall id rate them 8/10 if i had to be picky id say they could of come with some aftermarket clamps and the packageing was poor. ;)

but like CHA54 said be prepered for flat spots in ths product as he has had this problem, or could of been a one off i dont know, mine were ok.
