Description
The Mishimoto Silicone Hose Kit Matte Black for 2017+ Civic Type R replaces OEM radiator hoses to increase heat and pressure tolerance while providing a durable, visually refined upgrade for K20C1-equipped CTRs.
Engineered by Mishimoto, a brand known for motorsports-grade cooling components, this silicone hose kit addresses the common limitations of stock rubber hoses by improving resistance to elevated underhood temperatures and higher coolant system pressures encountered in spirited driving.
Why this matters
The switch from stock rubber to silicone hose construction improves longevity and reduces the likelihood of softening, swelling, or collapse under thermal and pressure cycling, helping maintain consistent coolant flow and system reliability.
Fit and application
This kit is specifically designed for 2017–2021 Honda Civic Type R models equipped with the K20C1 engine, ensuring correct routing and compatibility with the vehicle’s radiator and coolant plumbing without modification.
Visual and install considerations
The matte black finish provides a subtle, OEM-plus appearance that tidies the engine bay while avoiding the high-contrast look of brighter finishes. The kit replaces the factory rubber hoses to restore a cleaner, more durable coolant path.
Brand assurance
Mishimoto’s focus on cooling system performance and durability under motorsports conditions informs the design and quality control of this hose kit, making it an appropriate upgrade for owners prioritizing reliability during aggressive use.
