As an automotive enthusiast I have tried my fair share of hoses and pulleys for my car .As a RESULT of my tests, I determined that this lower radiator hose is a winner. The improved design and construction make it more durable and resistant to wear and tear. The fitting also ensures a snug fit, which prevents leaks. However, the only downside is that it is slightly more expensive than other options on the market. Overall, I highly recommend this product for any car enthusiast looking to upgrade their radiator hose..
