Anyone ever used 4" silicone hose to connect to tailpipes? Much more flexible and easier to install than the stiff rubber boots. Rated @ 500* F and 275 psi burst pressure. I've had issues trying to seal the rubber boots and thought this might be a good alternative. Anyone see any issues?

I recently used silicone hump connectors and short pieces of straight to tie the downstream elbows to the y pipe. ( thru prop exhaust). Way easier to work with, reduced stresses on y pipe due to movement and the blue makes the boat appear like 5 mph faster. Bought mine on that large Internet auction site that runs a with easy for pennies as compared to local Goodyear rubber and hose store.
