Review on Gates 20431 Lower Radiator Hose by Justin Butler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Needs trimming, good quality but I want it to fit perfectly out of the box.

This may be because I replaced my radiator with a Mishimoto, but I had to cut the hose several times to fit it, that was a bit of a problem. No one wants to cut off a hose and risk puncturing it to make it fit. Much more than what a Mishimoto cooler needs. Perhaps a first generation OEM heatsink would fit without cutting. Good quality hose but not the right size for a replacement radiator (if you are still using a 30 year old OEM radiator you really should replace it).

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
