Review on Premium Black Silicone Radiator Hose Kit for Subaru Impreza WRX/STI 2001-2007 by Mishimoto by Chucky Hepler

Great price, hose fit perfectly. My stock radiator on my 2002 WRX sedan had some leaks around the plastic end tanks, so I replaced it with an all-aluminum Mishimoto radiator (without gluing the plastic end tanks). When replacing the radiator, I noticed that the standard 8-year-old rubber hose was very stiff and brittle. I decided it was better to replace than risk damaging it. The Mishimoto hose and radiator combo seems to be working great, no leaks, and my scan gauge II shows a coolant temp drop of about 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit depending on conditions. I would recommend this product to any WRX owner as an OEM replacement when the time comes. We have a 2002 sedan and a 2003 station wagon and plan on upgrading the station wagon if it leaks as well.
