The quality appears great and the ends are cut clean. I suspect they will last the life of the vehicle. One last comparison. Lower radiator hose installed from the top. Lower radiator hose as seen from beneath the car.
Bends are right on and fit without fuss.
Upper hose installed. The overflow bottle has been cleaned with solvents and a trip to the car wash so the inside could be pressure washed to remove the old sediment. The bottle came clean but it has some slight discoloration. Some folks might just opt to by a new one. See Ultimate SE-R Engine Detailing for more info.
