What hoses are you trying to replace. Their are ones that you should never touch unless you know what you are doing. Some of the tubing around the engine is "not just silicone." Some of the tubing such as the radiator tubing have fiber weaves and are thinker to handle heat and expansion. Just make sure the tubing that you put in the engine bay are the same quality as OEM parts or better. Especially considering that your car is still under warranty.
As Foxymazda said only replace certain hoses in the engine bay. You do not want to be caught on the side of the street with burst tubing due to the wrong part.

Thats why Im asking !!! I know that not every hose can be replace. But if you take some hose kit like the one from HoseTechniques... do the hose in them replace the stock one or are just wrap around ? Are they Silicones hoses or made from others materials ? Fozymazda seems to say that there is only about 2 hoses that can be replaced, but I saw some P5 engine bay with more than that
! Im sorry about all those questions, but Im knowledgeless in this departement
!Thanks
