Anyone tried Venair silicon hoses? Are the bottom hoses any longer than the OE hoses?

I run them, along with many others over on RS6.com . I don't recall them being any longer than OEM. I'll try to locate the OLD hoses for comparison and let you know.

Sorry for the wait, we're in the middle of a very active hurricane season:(. I checked the hoses, they're the same length as OEM.

Try the Wagner ones, there are slightly longer than OEM.
They solved my problem of constantly blowing off the lower hoses.

I've not had the bottom tray off the car yet.....how easy is it to check and replace the bost hoses? Are they easy to get to...or is it a front bumper off job?

The lower Wagner hoses are 15mm longer than standard so fit perfectly.

Thanks for that snoopra. Sorry for late reply, didn't get a notification

The Wagner ones are probably the way forward. Bit pricey though.

The bottom ones are easy to get to. Just drop the bottom tray.

I can't remember off hand if you can access the top hoses without removing the headlights (and therefore the bumper).

I really want to say yet, but I suspect the answer might be that the headlights have to come out. It's actually not a very hard job believe it or not.

Top hoses can be done without removing headlights/bumper, it's just a pain in the a$$ and a little time consuming.

The oe pipes are over £40 each + new hose clips so the Wagner are good value .
