Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-PRE-97BK is a black, dual-layer silicone radiator hose kit engineered as a direct, OEM-fit replacement for the Honda Accord and Prelude cooling system. Built by combining high grade silicone with heat-resistant embedded fibers, this Performance-grade hose kit is designed to handle the heat and pressure of your factory cooling circuit without the cracking and swelling common to aging rubber hoses.
As a dedicated Cooling system upgrade, this Mishimoto hose kit efficiently reduces heat while increasing pressure tolerance compared to a worn stock hose, helping maintain consistent coolant flow between the engine and radiator. Because it’s a Specific-fit (not universal) design, it installs in the same location as the original hose for a true OEM replacement fit, and it’s backed by Mishimoto’s known attention to build quality in the Cooling category. Mishimoto also offers this hose in a black or red finish, giving you a way to color-match your engine bay while upgrading durability.

It is also a direct fit for the 1997-2001 Honda Prelude, including both the Prelude Base and Prelude Type SH trims.
