Purosil Hoses experience?



Based on anecdotes I've read regarding the cost/difficulty of hard-to-reach
coolant and breather hose replacement, I've been researching silicon-based
alternatives.  Samco appears to be one well known option, but although TAP
carries some of their line, they are a UK co.  However, I just ran across a
US company called Purosil.   They have a pretty comprehensive web site and
say all the right things about turbo and coolant applications.  On the
website, they have a variety of hoses which look a lot like our Michelin
man.  They apparently sell to the turbo truck market and boast a 1M mile
guarantee.  They also mention race car applications.

I called:  They have a catalog, and they'll sell direct with a minimum $100
order, COD or net 30.

Anyone have experience with them?  I'm interested in replacing at least all
the problematic hoses before the engine goes in the car...
