Thanks bro, but I dont like it I want satin fittings and they dont have them. Someone else recomended this to me about a week ago. I called and they dont carry the satin fittings. Everything under my hood is satin and I think if I throw these chrome fittings on the radiator hose it wont look rite!

A belt sander should make the fittings satin with the right grit paper..

Do you know how to do it?

Never done it.. Just figured that would work.

I'm gonna order this hose since BMC is on some bullshit! This hose is 18" I measured mine and its about 13" and Summit says you can only cut it 1 1/2". Also is the diameter correct it says its 1 3/4".

Yeah I saw them watching your thread and I even PMed them about it and they keep ignoring. They have a lot of interest in it and the least they can do is say that they cant make it instead of being ignored.

I posted that to them also, I asked for a simple yes or no and no response!
I pmed them probably 3 or 4 times, so when I get mine from sunnit I'm gonna post it in the same thread!

Haha nice! I know people can be busy but I mean how long do we have to wait for a simple yes or no?

dont feel too bad, seems like BMC just ignore anyone who asks a question that they dont want to answer. Getting a simple yes or no out of them isnt going to happen.

Anyway, i too want the satin finish, so ill let you be the guinea pig

BMC's customer service....

LMAO!!!! Im sure there is one out there somewhere.

I'm not really a fan of the braided radiator hose.. I'm more of putting a glass tube in there with some LEDs but that's just me.. http://www.killerglass.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65_75&products_id=200

As for BMC, haven't really dealt with them but haven't really heard bad things about them up till now..

they are a cock to deal with after they have your $!

Does anyone know the dimensions of the upper radiator hose for a 06 Charger r/t 5.7?
Someone told me that it is 1.75" on the engine size and 1.5" on the radiator side. I thought only the 6.1 had different diameters. I called the dodge dealer by my house and of course they were no help!!

I dont think I am working tomorrow but I have a few things to do. If I have time I will take my hose off and give you all the dimensions. Are you gonna have a custom hose made up?

Thanks bro,
No not a custom hose, but I want to order the steel braided hose from Summit and want to make sure I get the correct hose. I didnt see hoses with different diameters though. If thats the case I would have to buy a new hose from the dealer and send it to them and that costs almost $90.00

So you can buy a radiator hose and send it out to get braided up?

Yes but its $90.00 vs $35.00, and who knows how long it will take.

Not to crazy about the price of the killer glass!

Yeah, the price is a bit expensive but it all depends on the look you want.. You want the braided so that works better for you.. I like lights so anywhere to add an LED is for me..

I agree the killerglass looks great, Alterego has it in her Mango, and I love the look. I would rather do steel braided to match my other hoses and of course the price!
