For the GT 5.0/5.2 coyote- probably older than 2020.
These are a matched set now if you are replacing either. You can’t just replace one without the other.
My T connector that comes off the top of the engine then branches to either the upper radiator hose and the thermostat housing started to leak out of the blue on my 2017. I fetched a replacement, but when I connected it to my upper radiator hose it was too loose and was going to leak for sure. The fitting is different. I had to buy a new upper Radiator hose to go with it. Once I got it in hand I tried connecting my old leaking T connector to it and sure enough it was too big to connect to the new hose.
I’m guessing this is only a problem for older S550s. Whenever they revised the parts this wasn’t a problem for newer cars, but older ones beware. It’ll cost you more once you replace either part.
