it would be hard to mess up radiator hoses...actually obx can probably manage to do that too

Stick with OEM. Hit up Len at Baranco. He'll hook you up.

OBX are the same quality as the samco/spoon radiator hoses...
just because they dont say SPOON doesnt make them of poorer quality..

OBX = ****.. bottom line.. speaking of bottom line, thats what there products are..

dont waste ur money on ****, only to spend more money fixing the cheap ****. do it right the first time. if napa didnt have it, keep looking, it'll pay off.

i'd say go to the dealership and get one, but it might cost you.

just keep lookin bro

spoon is some over priced ****. u can get rota's for almost half ore more than half the price of the spoon rims. a guy got a spoon cluster for 800 bones.. HELL NO.. it better of come with a free ******* from MR. SPOON'S whife herslef..

like someone said, stick with oem or go look harder at a parts store..

we'll like i said, OBX is turning into the Rota of performance ****....a lot of reputable companies got their fame by stealing major japanese designs, and at one time they were considered ****, skunk 2 was in this catagory and now they are a well known/respected company, I have seen both hoses in person (samco/OBX) and they are practically identical, say what you want, but if it is quality, names dont mean ****, and if i can get them at a 10th of the price as Samco's/Spoon well then thats even better.....personally i think that rota is a quality wheel and just because the major JDM heads say that they suck, doesnt make them bad in my eyes.....so why not the same for OBX radiator hoses, alot of the quote "ricer" companies are starting to get into the performance aspect of the import scene.

Bagged Cereal is the ****!!

at least you'd know the culprit(s) when you start losing coolant, overheat, etc.

I bought OBX hoses for my WRX and they never sealed. I wasted hours on trying to get them to seal, only to have a sweat form each time IN the hose webbing itself. I even tried $7 Mikalor clamps, with no luck.

Don't bother with the OBX hoses, they're junk.

I went with sfs hoses on my GSR 2 years ago, and have never had a problem. I've dragged the car, done canyon runs, and even autoX'd it without even a stink of coolant.

I got them from SPA technique in the US.
