i opted to go with the factory hoses with the exception of using a factory 99 lower hose, haven't gotten the change to do the job yet, but i'll let everyone know how the lower hose fits.

sam my 93 has 43k miles and all my hoses look great except my lower hose doesn't look so good which is why i'm changing them out

Mach929 - looking forward to your feedback regardidng the fit of the one-piece hose. I think that is certainly the way to go vrs the 3 pieces.

sam - my 93 has about 113K miles on it, I have also kept the hoses clean/lubricated/protected but my bottom hose is beginning to look old and it's time for a flush and new coolant. So, since I would be replacing the radiator hoses I thought maybe I'd do them all. I do like the look of the silicone hoses plus they will all then match the i/c and vac stuff.
