This looks kinda cool, but you would lose a lot of flex between the engine and radiator.

I would rather see a straight piece of tube used with the flexible 90's from a stock radiator hose. This would still look cool, and keep the flex factor higher.
Good info though.

I had the same reaction. Think they could have found an example with more complex curves and more rubber for flex. I'd expect that radiator to crack unless the engine has solid mounts.
