I've been thinking about buying this radiator hose but curious if this will cause leaks or cause radiator to not run at optimal performance?

or i was thinking of the metal looking sleeves that go over the rubber hoses...

Thanks

 

If it's the same size shouldn't be an issue but I don't think it worth 30 bucks eBay pics don't look that nice either

 

I believe you have to cut to fit then use the end pieces to tightened it down...

I know spectra makes a few different sizes and this is the cheapest i found..

I'm worried about any leaks or cooling issues...

 

try it for a month and if it leaks you can always swap back and provide us your feedback. take it for the team lol

 

I'll report back lol....

 

I'm sure you can find a local fabricator to make a stainess tig welded pipe for $20 more. I paid $50 for mine.

 

It looks like a replica of the Cool Flex radiator hose. Those are high quality.

 

THanks, I ended up ordering this one...

I guess my only concern is figuring out how the end of the pipe fits on the clamp?
