I believe the Magna ones are the same. Take yours into repco or similar and compare them.

Found quite a few on US eBay, prices range from US$45 to $100+ without shipping.

A group buy could cut the shipping cost

Generally ebay is a scam. They charge $40 postage for an item then discount the shipping on the 2nd item by $5 or simething stupid so you still end up paying heaps for shipping. This has been my experience anyway.

haha, i see. i need them like right away so i'll check out repco and purple pig and stuff. thanks guys!

i'll still be looking for the hoses so keep me updated if anyone planning to sell :P

make sure your hoses have the spring inside else the recovery system will not work...I had that problem with my samco's and threw them out for some stainless flex hoses.

wat springs? the stock ones didnt hav any and i havent heard about these springs before =/

i checked repco this morning and they could get the generic ones ordered in for me. so i was thinking if i have to wait then i might as well order them online, lol

alot of radiator hoses have springs in them to stop them collapsing...which is the exact problem I had with the samco's
