MHO on the hose matter. My German hoses lasted for 10 years before I replace them when I installed a new engine. They were all fine I just wanted new due to my new engine. I wonder how ofter the American hoses are going to last? I had a NEW American hose to last less than TWO YEARS before it needed to be replaced. Hose change time for most American hoses is @2 to 4 years. German might be more ( most can be bought through Bus Depot and simliar FLAPS) But they will last a lot longer. The question that should be asked is "How ofter do you want to change your all the hoses" rather than "can I save a few bucks" But will you really save money replacing hoses at a faster rate 3 sets of American to one set of German. Becarefull some dealers are selling lower quality Mexican instead of German, they will not last as long.
