Default Unbranded coolant hoses

I reluctantly fitted water temp sensor in the top hose and sunrise suprise its leaking.

Convently the bottom hose has started to drip, it feels very very soft.

I'm going to change both to black silicone but don't like logos splashed all over hoses.
Anyone know of a supplier who does unbranded or a way to remove the logos.

The Fuji Racing ones from ICP are embossed going by the picture so I suppose if even that bothers you, you could carefully smooth it over with some silicone. Cheaper than the likes of Samco too.

Mishimoto have a minimal amount of branding that I’ve seen. I’ve personally never seen a quality item not embossed in some way. My money would go on a quality item (not Mishimoto for me) and then find a way around dealing with logo/branding etc. Plenty of flexible latex based paints knocking about that are heat resistant and have an element of flex in them. Alternatively just rewrap it in a high quality tape of a matching colour. I do remember (I think) one of the main stream Subaru specialists doing items to order. They could in theory order but without being embossed possibly. It’s just one less step in the production process. May seem a bit OTT though for a set of rad hoses. Good luck either way.

Roose motorsport will sell unbranded for an extra £20 but I think I'm going with autobhan for the costs side.

I looked at Roose as a suggestion but I know nothing of their quality. I take it Autobhan are currently unbranded also? Just for future reference.

I've used Roose before on my cavalier turbo and couldn't fault them. For silly money they do silicone that look oem
