hi temp radiator hoses

I'm looking to get some radiator hoses or a whole kit of hoses in black. That will reduce some under hood temperatures.
Last night I ordered the 2 tb p2r gaskets and spacer,2 mannifold gaskets,lower temp fan switch and trying to get a good hose kit today.
anyone know anywhere ?
I'm trying to fight the summer heat

Never heard of those. I have cooling mods & it's way hotter in S FLA. I have regular Acura hoses.

header wrap would work. but the hoses dont give off much heat. rubber is a natural insulator. its the engine block and intake that give off the heat. wrap those exhaust primaries and watch the IAT's go down

I couldn't find anything like this, especially in black the only ones I could find were blue. I just bought new OEM black hoses. Like Phee said, they don't really put off much heat, and only one hose is ever really hot anyway.

Heavy duty cooling system packages for severe use in vehicles in extreme climates, such as police interceptor packages, ususlly use silicone radiator hoses, which are light green in color. They can be special ordered from Gates.

So where do i get them?

I am looking for radiator silicone hoses too...I have a 2001 MDX Touring and have to replace them, I will like that UPGRADE...I am also installing a tranny cooler to prevent my tranny from overheating. If somebody knows where I can get them please contact me ASAP!

Those hoses look cool. It's a couple bucks cheaper if you get them directly from racingpartdepot.com Does anyone have these?
