Default RBC manifold + Samco Radiator hose (dc5)

Does anyone know if the Sammco Radiator hose will fit the RSX after the RBC install?

Is the size of the samco hose the same as the stock one or a little bit bigger?

This is what I am talking about:

I have the RBC on my car right now and I had to take some zip ties to hold back the stock radiator hose from touching the injen CAI rubber elbow.

I want to know if its the same size as the stock one. If it is then I dont want it. If its bigger/longer/different shape then I will be interested. Is it custom fit to size or does it come in the shape for specific applications (meaning its just like stock)?

Thanks!

I dont see why it wouldn't. There isn't any requirement to swap out the stock unit when you install the RBC unit.

Not required but recommended. Plus it will look alot cleaner and you will have more space without it touching the rubber elbow on the intake.

thanks. Yeah I know which part you are talking about. I just wanted to see if I could run the samco one instead to add that extra bling.
