I bought my car without a radiator (non-op) and I recently got a new Koyo to go in it. If I order a set of stock radiator hoses, will they fit the Koyo?



Thanks.

Yes they'll fit. But if you are buying new ones why not buy high-quality ones?

I haven't looked in years but just browse around. There are alot more durable options out there than the factory ones. I'd guess for roughly the same price too.

Agreed, but personally if they're much more expensive I wouldn't bother - they're radiator hoses, they either work or they dont.

I suppose, I'm just a big fan of buying the best of everything

That's the way I am. I found out that RX7.com came out with their own set of silicon radiator hoses that I might give a try. They're about twice the price but $79/set doesn't seem horrible to me for a quality product.

The OEM rad hoses ARE HIGH QUALITY. Spend your money where it counts. Rad hoses are absolutely fine to use OEM. They last forever and don't do a helluva lot...

I've had to replace FD hoses due to cracking....
