Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-VET-09BK is a black silicone radiator hose kit purpose-built for the C6 Corvette platform, replacing the factory rubber upper and lower radiator hoses with a five-layer silicone construction rated to 330°F. Built with heat-resistant embedded fibers for added strength, this kit is designed to hold up to the demands of both street driving and track days.
Rubber radiator hoses degrade over time, becoming brittle and prone to failure under heat and pressure. Mishimoto engineered this silicone Corvette radiator hose kit to resist that breakdown, delivering improved heat tolerance and pressure tolerance compared to the factory hoses. The kit includes both the upper and lower radiator hoses along with four worm-gear clamps, so everything needed for a complete hose replacement is in the box. As part of the broader Mishimoto Cooling lineup, this hose kit is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty and is also available in red for those who want to match their engine bay color scheme.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto silicone radiator hose kit is a direct fit for the 2009-2013 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the 2013 Chevrolet Corvette 427, and the 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon. It was engineered specifically for these C6 Corvette applications rather than as a universal-fit hose, ensuring proper routing and clamp placement without modification.
