Message	regular rubber is fine, thats what the stock ones were. people just upgrade to silicone (not because of complicated forms) but because they dont bleed through like regular rubber ones do. the oil is so hot at this point (returning to pan from turbo) that it super heats rubber and seeps into the pores, eventually bleeding through. this is avoided by upgrading the material to silicone. those two return hoses are straights anyways so if you want to use rubber, use rubber!
