The GRMGRM405323 GrimmSpeed Radiator Hose Kit replaces those aging factory hoses with a 5 ply silicone construction reinforced between every layer for lasting durability. Reverse engineered from brand new factory hoses, the GRMGRM405323 kit installs without trimming or kinking, and it is built to handle the increased heat and pressure of a built motor as well as daily commuting duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 ply silicone construction with fiber reinforcement between every layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3D scanned for a precise factory style fit on GRMGRM405323 applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes upper hose, lower hose, and four stainless steel BREEZE high torque clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmbedded GrimmSpeed logo on each hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in a black finish for a clean factory look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment Table\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTrim\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2004-2008\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSubaru\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForester\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGRMGRM405323\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published by manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReinforced Silicone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Hoses\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 (upper and lower)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClamps Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes, 4 stainless steel BREEZE clamps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrimmSpeed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 upper silicone radiator hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 lower silicone radiator hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 stainless steel high torque BREEZE hose clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout GrimmSpeed\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrimmSpeed started as a small garage operation in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2006 and has grown into one of the most trusted names in Subaru performance.
