I've used it.
It is quite flexible but if the radius of the curve is too sharp then it will kink.
It will always try and straighten itself so both ends that it's connecting to need to be fixed in some way. I'll pop out to the garage and see what I have left, I'm not sure if I used 25mm though

I only have a small bit of 32mm left.
I got mine from Merlin Motorsport.

thinking of redoing my pluming system soon. some of the hoses are a bit worse for wear.

What is the advantage of going silicone? Is it just looks? Seems expensive to me!
