do you have any link to vendor selling these specialized silicone hoses?
Polyester reinforced hose are the worst and they will expand in just 1-2 weeks with plain silicon as the oil will be absorbed by the fibers. The polyester is fine on fluro hoses.

Samco makes fluro hoses but they are not cheap (about $100 each). I did find one vendor who makes a 2.5" coupler at $15 each and they do have other sizes. This is a fluro lined hose.
