I don't have any of the slim fans at the moment as we just added them in our quest to shed weight. The car is apart for a bunch of cylinder head work and upgrades but I can snap some once we reassemble.

The hoses you can see in the pictures above.

I will work up a shipping quote to you in Canada. Unfortunately it is rarely cheap to send something this big across the border.

yeah down side to being north of the border that i know all to well, how would you rate the hoses compared to samco or AMS, and is black the only color avail? I'm not against black I was just hoping for a matching red :)

thanks for the shipping quote BTW, I have to work out a few things but this radiator is on my list for sure. Just need to figure out sumer tires, and if I'm gonna do a full wheel package while I'm at it. then back to the engine ;) Hopefully I won't miss the april special ;)

Could not tell you in utter certainty how they compare to other hoses, as we have not used Samco or AMS on any of our cars. I am sure there are minor differences, but the Mishimoto hoses are double wall silicone. We have also put them on numerous earlier EVOs and DSMs with no issues.
They are also available in red and blue in addition to black.

ohhh nice now we are talking :), okay I'm gonna try and get an order from you before the end of the month, but I have a few more things I want form you yet, any luck on valve cover stock out of curiosity? Cause that is one thing I'd like too. And the coil cover. Anyhow I'll PM you tomorrow with a list and specifics so I can get a full quote and work out out the details. Thanks, and keep up the great work!
