Hey guys, we are on the forums everyday. OP, you can PM me if you have any specific issues.
All of our products carry a lifetime warranty and also feature accident protection, too.
Regarding the hoses, I actually installed some onto my Mishimoto radiator last night in fact. Yes, it is hard to do, I will admit that, but with a little silicone lubricant, they pop right on easily.
Regarding the "leaks", I have never run into a problem, nor have we had excessive customer come back state their Civic radiator has spring a leak. The Civic radiator is probably our best seller! I have also never heard of someone hitting a nice bump in the road and springing a leak because of that.
Not only am I the guy who posts as Mishimoto on forums and whatnot, I am also the warranty guy here too.
OP, or anyone else, send me an E-mail directly at
patrick@mishimoto.com if you ever need assistance with our products. We are here M-F 930a-6p EST.
