[QUOTE="MachR1, post: 15328817, member: 158381"] I ended up going to Home Depot and getting a proper fitting adapter. The hose idea seemed like a bad one considering it was a smooth surface. I didn't want it slipping off when under pressure. Any update on those instructions or links as mentioned before? I had no luck on Google. I recommend you include a few different sized adapters in these kits. You mentioned before that the heater core hose expands over time, given that these cars are 13-14 years old now, I 'm sure most have expanded. Doing that would eliminate a small headache. I have yet to start the car with this mod so I have no idea if it will leak but for a quick review. The parts look great, the fit was spot on and install was pretty simple. What I didn't like (all can be fixed on your end) would be the lack of instructions, lack of proper fitting adapters and lack of 3 clamps. I bring up the last part because I clamped all my ends mostly because I didn't want anything leaking and for peace of mind. Secondly because even the supplied hose seemed a bit too big for the barbed brass fittings. Fix those simple issues and I'd say you have a 5 out of 5 product. Until then I rate 3 out of 5. Thanks!
