Aftermarket (Autozone, Pep Boys, etc) hoses are twice cheaper than OEM (Toyota dealer) . Are they so much worse?
I am not talking about obvious worse fit, but mostly about quality (longevity) of the rubber. Anyone with significant use of aftermarket hoses (both mileage wise and time wise) can please express their opinion? Thanks! |

Depends on what kinda rad you want. If you wanted an OEM type one, you can get those from most auto stores (picked up an SPI from autozone), or you can get them off ebay, thats where I got my koyo.
