Talking pics of my thermalflex coolant hose

nice hose, a bit pricey but looks great :-) Install was easy, needed to trim the hoses down a bit, thats all.

hey apneablue, already formed, just trimmed a bit on each end and it fit right in. If you feel like spending the money, then its a great upgrade. I will be on the track a lot this summer too, so it was more than just 'looks' for me.

Hey, thanks for the info. Those clamps are special order from turbohoses.com and they don't list the price or part number. You can't buy them direct from Breeze.

I bought those hoses last year in the group buy which turned out to be their retail price afterwards. I thought the Samco and other brands retailed for $250?

For anyone planning on buying those that have a Greddy SMIC: Retain the rubber sleeve and/or custom order a 4" length silicone coupler because the heat of the pipe rubbing the hose melts it.

Geesh, that's a lot of money for hoses, considering I just bought a new upper and lower hose from Mazdaformance for about $36 shipped.....of course they're not yellow...

and I've still got the stock POS clamps.....

Nice hoses!
I bet they really dress up the engine bay. Very classy. Probably last longer than stock too.
Damian, where do you find all this stuff? I think you have too much time on your hands.
