Mishimoto has an upper hose, lower hose kit, and ancillary hose kit. Between the three products there are eight hoses, plus (in the lower hose kit) a polished fitting described as an "aluminum diverter pipe to facilitate the oil cooler". Not sure exactly what that means. The hoses are described as being four layers of silicone that can handle up to 330 degrees.
HPS offers a silicone radiator coolant and heater hose kit. It has 11 hoses, but not the fitting that Mishimoto has. Based on the name of the product, I'd assume the extra hoses are for the heater core. The hoses are described as being three layers of silicone that can handle up to 350 degrees.
Both say they're for 2015-17 GTs, but neither makes any mention of being compatible with Performance Pack cars. I'm not sure if the PP creates any differences in compatibility. The PP has a higher-flow radiator, but I'm not sure if any of the actual hoses are different.
My main interest is visual appearance (colored hoses), but if one is better than the other in some kind of real way, I'd like to know. Or if either (or both) are crap, I want to know that, too.
Thoughts?
