That video looked a little stupid. Hoses are a big problem. Remember to use BLACK hoses, not blue. Blue is illegal. Red probably is too.
1. Yes, the aftermarket industry is rather large. check www.sema.org for details on just how large.
2. The blue hose is "illegal" for that application, not because it is blue, but because it is silicone and doesn't bear the proper certification from CARB.
The ironic thing is that a vehicle "equipped for racing" can most definately use all CARB EO# parts, and then the cops would be SOL for citing the driver.
