New 26" rad - what hoses to use?
I'm not a huge fan of the way those flexible hoses look, that's why I want to go with stock looking rubber pieces. I hadn't considered that they may also cause turbulence with the coolant flow, but it makes sense.
Going down to the local parts store and rooting through their stock is definitely an option, but I was hoping to avoid that and just get something that I know fits.
