Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-WRX-01RD is a red silicone radiator hose kit built as a direct, OEM-replacement upgrade for the Subaru WRX and STI cooling system. It uses a dual-layer construction combining high-grade silicone with heat-resistant embedded fibers, giving the hoses a performance-grade build while still dropping into the factory hose routing.
Coolant hoses are constantly exposed to heat cycling and system pressure, so Mishimoto engineered this kit from performance-grade silicone rated to a maximum temperature of 330°F. The dual-layer, fiber-reinforced design is intended to efficiently reduce heat and increase pressure tolerance compared to aging factory rubber hoses, while the OEM replacement fit keeps installation straightforward. This kit comes in a vivid red finish, and the same hose kit is also offered in matte black, black, and blue for owners who want to match other underhood components.
Vehicle Applications
This is a specific-fit hose kit built for the 2002-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX, including the 2006-2007 WRX Limited and 2006-2007 WRX TR, as well as the 2004-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI and the 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Limited. It also fits the 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X Aero. Mishimoto notes that due to the engine bay setup in the WRX, minor trimming of the hoses may be necessary, and installers should reference the installed hose image for proper routing of the upper radiator hose to avoid damaging the silicone.
