Hi Guys,

Black Silicon radiator hoses will leave Japan Tues or Wed next week via EMS. They will be in the following week.

Will advise once tracking number is received.

It has taken about 2 or 3 weeks for us.

Mao i really think you will find that black silicon hoses will sell very well.

Do these have big name brands etc on them? I hope not.

Hi Russ,

We have made the hose from scratch as we want them to be perfect. No branding on them at all.

For example, we used to have problems with the GRB and SH9 hoses. A lot of ebay items that customers brought in for the GRB and SH9 were always mixed up. The hoses will can be forced fitted into each model, but there will be issues as the actual hoses are slightly different between both models.

This was also the case for the GDB and BL5, where the angles of the cooling hoses are different but can be fitted regardless, but this actually impedes coolant flow.

Long story short, GR and SH radiator hoses look similar but are actually different and fitting the wrong hoses will reduce cooling efficiency. This is also the case of GD and BL.
We will be branding them once we have catalogued all the ones we are manufacturing.

Chinese companies selling low quality silicon hoses online won't give a damn, they will simply sell you a GRB hose and label it a SH and a BL hose and label it a GDB and vice versa with you not even knowing.

So at the end of the day, you might get a shit product which is for the wrong model, without you yourself even knowing.

Damn, have heaps of blue in stock! Have placed an order for black and these will always be kept in stock for individual models in 3 weeks.

And thanks for the input Russ, we will stock the black from now on.

Hoses have all arrived in-store. I will be taking pics to log the difference between different Subaru models, so P.WRX members know what hose to get for their cars.

Regardless whether it is buying from Evoution R or somewhere else, this info will be useful.
