I was just curious........
I just bought come Coolflex Radiator hoses which look great, I can't wait to install them with my new Koyo. I just realized since their hard pipes basically I won't be able to "burp" the system like I'm used to. Anyone have any similar experiences... how to get around it......I just placed the order yesterday so I can cancel it.......Thanks in advance......

um, i can't determine what "hard pipes" you're referring to. maybe you think that the koyo rad. you ordered has a different piping configuration?? if so, the koyo is a direct drop in replacement for the factory unit that came with your vehicle and has no additional functions. if the new Coolflex hoses that you purchased are for the stock cooling system config., then the hoses will "hit" the new radiator inlet and outlet without modifications and you would bleed any air out of the system using the standard method. i apologize if i misunderstood your post.

No it's fine........the Coolflex hoses are real copper piping powder coated in diff colors. I usually squeeze the stock rubber hoses to burp out any bubbles. PLus, I would like to eliminate the AST since I have a FMIC and my rad sits upright now......the steep angle of the stock rad is why it needed the AST to remove the bubbles.....
I returned them anyway for now til' i see what's up.......

Where did you order the hose and what size & length did you order ?? i'm about to do the exact same thing. Installing a FMIC with a Fluidyne in the upright position.

Pm me if anything..

Thanks,
