I'm sure it would work fine, a pipe is a pipe. I think an aluminum one would work better to get the heat out, but if your trying to keep exhaust manifold heat out, then maybe ss is the better option.

i just wanna get rid of the ugly/worn stock one but felt 120 bucks is alot of dough for that, same goes for spark plug covers.

dont use the hoses that come with it, they dont fit tight enough, and it will not fit if you are using an aftermarket radiator, I just sold mine

We have a new one piece design. I will update the picture on our website shortly. The tooling was pretty complex due to the compound bends, but ours fits perfect.

I get the whole 120 bucks for a short radiator hose is a tad too much, especially when the oem is 20-30 new. Don't even waste your time on that ebay pipe. Find a used ETS if that's what you like and save some money.

I have this, fitment will be fine if you still have the stock radiator, but if your like me and have the mishimoto radiator you will have to modified for it to work. Got it on for about 6-7k now and not a problem.

I have an ETS one and fitment is perfect. Will probably be swapping in my new Evo 6 radiator in next month or two... so my ETS radiator pipe will be up for sale.

$120 is cheap... This is mine and was $225 dollars. i wasnt about to drop $200+ on a radiator hose for looks so my girl bought it for me as a gift. Matches the sour apple jdm evo 7 vc nicely i think.

anyone use this radiator pipe?-10612657_734001893337639_2155950872963621122_n.jpg
