Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-PRE-97RD is a red silicone radiator hose kit engineered specifically for the Honda Accord and Prelude, built from a dual-layer construction that pairs high grade silicone with heat-resistant embedded fibers. Unlike a stock rubber hose, this Mishimoto Cooling component is designed to handle greater heat and pressure while dropping into place with an OEM replacement fit.
Every part of this radiator hose kit is aimed at keeping coolant flowing efficiently under demanding conditions. The combination of high grade silicone and embedded fiber reinforcement lets the hose efficiently reduce heat while increasing pressure tolerance compared to a factory hose, and its Performance grade construction is rated to withstand a maximum temperature of 330°F. Because it’s a Specific-fit design rather than a universal hose, installation follows the factory routing for a clean, OEM-style appearance, and the vivid red silicone color adds a distinct look under the hood.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto silicone hose kit is built for the 1994–1997 Honda Accord, covering the DX, EX, LX, and 1997 SE trims, the 1996–1997 Value Package, and the 1996 25th Anniversary Edition. It also fits the 1997–2001 Honda Prelude, including both the Base and Type SH trims. If your Accord or Prelude falls within these model years and trims, this hose kit is designed to be a direct, OEM-style replacement.
