Super Jet Rad Dudes exhaust hose discoloration?

Has anyone else had there Rad Dudes long exhaust hose discolor? I've ran lots of colored silicone hoses and have never had any discoloration before, just wondering before I order a new hose for next year.

Never had a issue with multilayer silicone hose discoloring before, the blue exhaust elbow is fine? To me it looks like it's getting exhaust oil contamination between the layers. Just would like to know if anyone else has had a issue before I order another one!

We have no problem doing a hose at dealer cost for anyone that had this issue. None of our skis had had this happen but none are blue. Red green purple and black don't have an issue from what I see.

Also how hot are you running it?
 
Also on a sidenote we have been trying to nail down the US supplier but he does not offer all the same colors he does offer red blue and black so we could test the next product line from him.
Seems like you would be a perfect person to test for us.

When I first built the ski i was running my waterbox real dry, opened up my flow control a bit, and even after that the hose continued to darken. Funny thing is my exhaust elbow off the pipe still looks new! My concern is the silicone layers are seperating and at some point could rupture, hate to be on a surf trip and that happen! I'd be more than happy to test the new hose for you guys, PM me with the details! Thanks!
