High-Quality Replacement Radiator Hose

After trying this replacement hose for my car`s radiator I am thoroughly impressed. THE material feels durable and sturdy, withstanding high temperatures during my long commutes. The installation process was smooth and hassle-free as it fit perfectly into my car model... The only con I can think of is the price, which may be slightly higher than other brands in the market. However, the quality and performance of this hose make it worth the investment. Overall, I highly recommend this product to

Pros

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
