Yes, I do. What's your dillema?


I have a Greddy FMIC with a Koyo Radiator and Samco aftermarket hoses.

you can, but theres no need to. the stock rad coolent hoses will hold up very well, but might need to be shortened for fitment. i also have the samco rad hoses, they are pretty pricey...about $150

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the silicone radiator hoses. The stock hoses are VERY reliable and reasonably priced. I could see running the colored rad hoses for some bling, but you can't even see the radiator hoses in most cars.

Use that money to buy something the car needs more .
