Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-RSX-02RD is a purpose-built red silicone radiator hose kit engineered specifically to replace the stock cooling hoses on the 2002-2006 Acura RSX. Built with a dual-layer construction of high grade silicone reinforced with heat-resistant embedded fibers, this kit is designed to handle the demands of a performance cooling system while dropping straight into the factory hose routing.
As part of Mishimoto’s Cooling lineup, this hose kit is engineered for efficient heat reduction and increased pressure tolerance compared to aging factory rubber hoses. The performance-grade silicone construction resists the cracking, softening, and swelling that stock hoses experience over time, helping maintain consistent coolant flow and system pressure. Because it’s a specific-fit design rather than a universal hose, installation follows the factory hose paths for a clean, OEM-style fit without the need for cutting or trimming.
Vehicle Applications
This hose kit is a direct fit for the 2002-2006 Acura RSX, covering both the Base and Type-S trims across that full model year range. Owners of either RSX trim from these years can install this kit as a bolt-on replacement for the original radiator hoses.
