Description
Mishimoto radiator hose kit for the 2005–2008 Corvette Z06 replaces factory rubber with silicone to provide improved reliability and enhanced visual appeal.
This kit uses silicone construction for both upper and lower radiator hoses, an advancement in both style and reliability. Silicone resists common degradation modes seen in rubber hoses, maintaining shape and sealing under repeated thermal cycles.
- Includes upper and lower radiator hoses — provides a complete coolant path replacement to ensure compatibility and consistent flow routing.
- Silicone material — increases durability and longevity compared to rubber, reducing the risk of swelling, cracking, or premature failure.
- Four worm-gear clamps included — engineered clamp style that offers a secure, adjustable clamping force for reliable hose-to-fitting seals.
- Red upper hose — visible styling upgrade that integrates with performance-oriented engine bays while preserving routing and function.
Designed and supplied by Mishimoto, a brand known for focused thermal-management components, this radiator hose kit targets drivers seeking a functional reliability upgrade that also improves engine-bay appearance. The components supplied are intended to directly replace the factory upper and lower hoses and install with the included worm-gear clamps for proper sealing.

Installation notes: this kit supplies the hoses and clamps required to replace the factory radiator hoses; follow standard coolant system service procedures and torque recommendations for hose fittings when installing to ensure leak-free operation.
