Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-VET-09RD is a red silicone radiator hose kit built specifically for the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 platform, replacing the factory rubber upper and lower radiator hoses with a pair engineered from five layers of silicone reinforced with heat-resistant embedded fibers. Each kit ships complete with four worm-gear clamps, so there’s no scrambling for extra hardware on install day.
Rubber hoses degrade over time from constant heat cycling and pressure, eventually cracking or softening at the worst possible moment. Mishimoto’s silicone construction is designed to improve heat and pressure tolerance compared to that factory rubber, giving your cooling system a more durable link between the radiator and engine whether you’re commuting or spending the day at the track. As a Performance-grade cooling component, this hose kit is a straightforward way to add both reliability and a cleaner engine-bay look, and it’s backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto radiator hose kit is a specific fit for select C6-generation Corvettes: it covers the 2013 Chevrolet Corvette 427, the 2009-2013 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, and the 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon. If your Corvette falls within these trims and years, this kit is engineered to be a direct replacement for the stock radiator hoses.
