This. The cooling system isn't under so much pressure that hose quality becomes a concern. I'm sure you'll have to cut them to fit, but that's every silicone hose I've ever seen. Just make sure you look inside for any little bits of leftover silicone from the manufacturing process and clean them out really good before installing. Get some new good (non-worm drive) clamps for the hoses too.

a tube is a tube, just because its a no name tube doesnt make it inferior to the name brand tube
