If you watch ebay and wait for the right auction, you can get the upper cooleeze radiator hose for under $60
How much do you think it costs to make that? Probly less then $60. If you have a pipe bender all you need is a peace of pipe, two small peaces of hose, and some clamps. Sounds easy to me. Has eneyone on here ever made one befor???

If you want Samco radiator hoses, supra-fast, then the 1JZ ones will work. They need about 1" removed from the lower hose. I forget which side, but it will work.

How about this idea? I just bought the Earl's setup, and it works great. You trim it to fit, and they have longer ones you can buy that will replace the lower one if you want as well.
There are "copies" on Ebay for less, and they might work fine, but this one is a real Earl's setup. If the new lower hose ever fails, I'll do this for the lower one as well.

That's really neat and clean looking. What did that run you?

It was either 75.00 or 80.00, can't remember now.
Pipe is polished stainless steel, ends are chrome plated aluminum, and have built in qualty screw type stainless clamps and reinforced silicone hoses that attach the flexable stainless pipe to your radiator and Thermostat housing.

They claim it adds additional cooling ability too, but I did it for looks and durability.

I think the ones on Ebay are less money, and you can get kits at places like Summit racing that would do both the upper and lower hoses for not to much more money. (It appears the Summit ones are the same as the Earls's, but I can't be sure about it as I have not bought the Summit one.)
