Default Silicone intercooler hoses

I'm thinking about fitting silicone intercooler hoses to my CDTi ZT and thought that rather than use off the shelf parts I would approach a hose manufacturer and see if they would be prepared to make custom hoses to fit the ZT/75 diesel..
Would anyone else be interested in these? Price dependent obviously !!!
Cheers Ian

I wish you luck with those, I have e mailed two companies about the possibility of them producing hoses for the diesels but they never replied.

How would the quality compare to the OEM ones especially compared to price.

I would be interested though, as mine is on the way out.
