Damn, that's pretty nice! Report up once you get them in and installed - wonder how good the fit and finish is.

Is it just me or does the upper radiator hose look nothing like the OEM version. Also the hoses appear to be kinda narrow... maybe its just the picture. Let us know how it works because I wouldn't mind a set that could withstand some extra heat.

That pic looks exactly like the Mazda upper radiator hoses I put on my car? :shrug:

They were probably overstock. $45 is less then the price of OEM rubber hoses and it says it's 4ply. Considering my Thermalflex were $150, i'd say that was a bargain. Allthough, I wouldn't call Thermalflex (made in Mexico) quality ...quite the exact opposite! They have no warranty, hand made in Mexico, can't handle heat (upper hose melted), fiberglass was **** (my lower hose crumbled like a cracker). **** Thermalflex with a horse ******!

7Sins - Aftermarket hoses don't come with the rubber sleeves. That's why it looks different. You would have to reuse the old sleeves if needed.

What's wrong with stock hoses? Mine lasted over 10 years, and the entire set of coolant hoses runs $150.

The stockers work fine here as well. Of course, they are cut up because of the FMIC. If I ever need replacement hoses I'll just go with what's cheapest since I would have to hack them up anyway.

Maybe the sleeves make it look thicker but the angles look way different in the aftermarket version.
