Perrin Radiator Hose
 

Anyone install the Perrin radiator hose and if so how difficult isnit and how much time generally would it take?

I installed them, but I was also changing my radiator at the time. I would say it can be done in under an hour. You will want to jack the car up and remove both of the undertrays I believe and then drain the radiator and swap the hoses. I removed my top hoses by unbolting the radiator cap area and disconnecting the hoses from the motor and radiator. Then I swapped the hoses on the radiator cap area off the car.

The install of the radiator hose is very simple and straight forward. I sent you an email containing the set of instructions as well!

For a time frame, I would say you can do it in 30 minutes to 2 hours MAX depending on how comfortable you are working on your car.

Yeah I wrote the post before you emailed me back haha, I got the email thanks. I won't be doing the instal, a shop will be I just wnted to know a general time frame because they will be putting my Perrin CAI and revworks header tomorrow so I don't want too much more time put on the car tomorrow
I'm in no rush to get the hoses put on ill prob wait until I get the pulley and inlet hose from you guys.

You swapped out the radiator for another or do you mean just changed the fluid?

I swapped to the Full Blown radiator.

Considering we're talking about a cosmetic upgrade...

Took me about an hour. You don't need to remove anything except the existing hoses. To drain the radiator there is a small panel in the plastic under tray made specifically for draining the fluid. You'll just need a short hose of some sort. Just remove the panel, attach the hose (I used a piece cut from aquarium cleaning hose), place bucket under, and turn the knob on the drain valve. The hoses are a little tough to get on but they will go on eventually. I've done it on two cars and I think I'll just coach people and not do another one myself as it's not very fun as you'll be leaning over the car a lot straining back muscles.
