alright i have a slight whole in my upper radiator pipe so im looking into upgraded to silicone piping does anyone know any good websites for that or good brands for a kit. for a n/a 2.0 talon
 
Just get OEM replacement from a part store unless you are looking for a spacific color.
 
I believe the Silicone hoses are able to withstand more heat, and less likely to expand under heat and pressure. I believe they will also last longer, and look new longer. But otherwise, they are mainly asthetic.

but, I would love to see someone chime in and either correct me or better explain?
 
They will be more durable under the Extra heat but being that the OP is NT, his bay isn't going to be getting as hot as it wousl as if it were turbo. The OEM/part store hose will work and last just fine.

I doubt he is having cooling issues and running a much higher PSI cap that would need the extra strength from the silicone hose. The only reason I can think of for him wanting it is to color up the engine bay.
