Just FYI quickly, pretty sure the only difference is the bend in the lower one.

Correct, tops are the same.
manual bends the other direction than the auto.
Both 4spd and 5spd auto are the same lower hose.
This also applies to non Mivec 6A12 FTOs. But not 4 cylinder.
n00bs covered.

Yes, but the lower hose gets cooked because it sits up against the gearbox.
Current issue with smurfy which is why I'll be swapping with SN000R.

True, true. Just swap the bottom one if you find someone wanting to swap though. If you had've got to me last week then I would've swapped.

They're better than the standard ones aren't they? Or I could just swap my lower manual one for a lower auto one like a normal person...

They don't get anywhere near as hot and don't get weak and bendy (no movement) when they are hot..
They fit tighter, won't ever split, and yeah, look mardd

....and they don't even come in red
Coolant hoses are coolant hoses, you replace them when they are getting old, say every 100,000km

Very true. A new one for amayama for $24 is great and will last me ages.
But I want the samco one again. Just Because .
