Product Description

Upgrade your cooling system with the Samco Sport Radiator Coolant Hose Kit — engineered for the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VIII (CT9A) and MR versions. This premium 2-piece kit replaces the factory upper and lower radiator hoses, offering superior durability, performance and fitment for both street and track use.

Features & Benefits

• Precision fit for EVO VIII (2003–2005) CT9A / MR series, ensuring direct replacement of the stock radiator hoses.

• High-quality reinforced silicone construction with multiple plies of aramid fibre and a smooth inner wall for reduced stress on coolant flow — built to outlast standard rubber hoses.

• Exceptional temperature handling – rated to approximately 338 °F (≈ 170 °C) for the standard hose specification.

• Improved strength under pressure, reduced expansion and improved reliability under demanding conditions (boost, racing, high heat).

• Multiple colour options (subject to availability) — select a colour to match your engine bay aesthetic: gloss black, red, blue, purple, flat black, etc.

• Includes: 2 hoses (upper and lower radiator hose lines) — everything you need for an OEM-style replacement with performance upgrades.

Fitment Notes

• Designed specifically for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII CT9A (2003 – 2005) including the MR variant.

• Confirm your vehicle configuration prior to ordering to ensure compatibility.

• Recommended when your factory hoses are aged, showing swell or softening, or if you’re upgrading cooling hardware for performance use.

Why Choose Samco Sport?

Samco Sport hoses are widely regarded in motorsport and enthusiast circles for their durability and precision craftsmanship. Their layered silicone/aramid build has proven reliability in high-stress applications — offering better long-term performance than OEM rubber hoses.

Installation & Tips

• Install during a cooling system service to maximise efficiency (radiator flush, coolant replace, inspect surrounding pipes/clamps).

• Use new hose clamps—if your original spring clamps are worn, this is a good opportunity to upgrade to 360° worm-drive or quality OEM-style clamps for secure fitment.

• Check for clearance and routing, especially in modified engine bays (intercooler piping, aftermarket trays, custom cooling mods).

• After installation, run the engine to operating temperature, check for leaks and re-check clamp tightness after initial heat cycles.
