It's a 24" and 1 3/8 ID, I think, it's a direct fit for the C5, don't need to use any reducers or anything. Total time to install was a couple of hours and that was not rushing or anything. There was a post about using a 1/4 allen for the radiator drain, mine has a slot for a 1/4 socket extension to fit in instead of a allen.

I got the hose from Jegs, FXI 2050, for the C5. They were $40 cheaper than the Cool-Flex web site......go figure.

Damn... where were you last year with this info?

..........

I like my CoolFlex, but would of felt a lot better if the price was around $70.

That's just the upper hose, rubber couplers, chrome coupler covers and clamps that fit groves in the covers.

Hope you never have the problem that I did, when the upper hose slipped off going down the hwy; what a mess. I was reluctant to put it back on but my mechanic assures me that he did it right this time, though I am still wary about it coming off. I gave him explicit instructions according to the forum members. Good Luck
