Mishimoto Silicone Radiator Hose Kit 2002-2007 Subaru Impreza, WRX ...
The quality of the radiator is good and it’s well built. However, it does not fit into older WRX models. We have a 2003 and the radiator was just too big to fit into the space allocated. Attempts to return or exchange the radiator for one that fits to MAPerformance and Mishimoto have failed miserable. In the mean time we ended up purchasing an OEM part from our local Subaru dealership in town. Overall, the product is not poorly built, but the service is something to be considered. Unless you know that there will be no need to return this product, I would not purchase this from either company because their customer service is so poor. I have sat on our radiator now for over 4 months, and still not resolution.
Mishimoto and crew have a class operation from the construction of the radiator all the way down to the hand off documentation and recyclable well thought out packaging. This install went in with out a problem and I have installed other big core radiators in which I had to just about rework the radiator support and all electrical plus fans. This is a true well built full upgrade one hour bolt in.
Impressive to see great quality again!!!!!!!
My car was slightly on the hotter side and plus my thermostat was broken. So decided to change out my radiator and thermostat. Fitment was good only modification i needed to do was to cut 1/2-1 inch on each end of the rad hoses. First start up the temps seem normal from the stock gauge temp its usually just above the 2nd line( the line below the half mark) after topping off and driving on the freeway(night) the temps went below the 2nd line, which it never went that low even when my car was brand new stock. I did use water wetter and 30% coolant. but im pretty sure the radiator had a lot to do with the temps.
Pros: cooler temps, bolt on with very slight mod to the hoses.
cons: only thing is when the car is hot make sure u dont touch the top of the radiator or buy a shroud.
