The problem is that there are different options when it comes to radiators (Koyo vs. Fluidyne, etc.) for example. With this, not everyone has the filler necks in the same area. So, multiple combinations of radiator hoses will have to be made...which becomes a PITA.



I've seen people put a steel braided sleeve over their radiator hose for a non-stock/racey look.



That is an option for you.

I was asking because my lower heater hose is about to explode. Every oil change I get some oil on that hose, and now it softened it up. Silicone wouldn't do that, lasts longer and looks cooler, but i already ordered the stuff from mazda, so maybe next time.
