Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-WRX-01BK is a black silicone radiator hose kit engineered specifically for the Subaru WRX and STI platform, replacing the factory rubber hoses with a dual-layer silicone construction reinforced by heat-resistant embedded fibers. Built under Mishimoto’s Performance grade line, this kit is designed to bolt in with an OEM replacement fit while offering a step up in durability over stock hoses.
Cooling system reliability starts with hoses that can handle sustained heat and pressure, and this Mishimoto silicone hose kit is built to do exactly that. The dual-layer silicone and embedded fiber construction efficiently reduces heat and increases pressure tolerance compared to standard rubber hoses, helping maintain consistent coolant flow to the radiator. Finished in black, the hose kit maintains a clean, factory-style appearance under the hood while upgrading the underlying material for long-term durability.
Vehicle Applications
This silicone radiator hose kit is a specific fit for the Saab 9-2X Aero from 2005-2006, and for a range of Subaru Impreza WRX vehicles: the standard Subaru Impreza WRX from 2002-2007, the Subaru Impreza WRX Limited from 2006-2007, and the Subaru Impreza WRX TR from 2006-2007. It also fits the Subaru Impreza WRX STI from 2004-2007 and the Subaru Impreza WRX STI Limited for 2007. Given the shared engine bay layout across these platforms, Mishimoto notes that minor trimming of the hoses may be necessary during installation, and installers should refer to the proper routing of the upper radiator hose to avoid damaging the silicone hose.
