A note on silicone hoses: GoWesty does not offer a silicone version of this hose. If a standard rubber hose is not available, we will at times bring in a silicone substitute. However, there is no evidence that indicates the more expensive silicone material/manufacturing method is superior in any way. This hose is an exact reproduction of the original VW formed hose, which was known to last many decades and are a fraction is the price as compared to a silicone version of the same thing.
