It pinches it - I had to mod the radiator hose (i.e. I put a water temp sensor adapter inline & reclocked it a bit). I'd say it's squeezing it down about 10-15% of normal circular size at the worse part.
I have bought a silicon radiator hose kit, which should make it less pinched.
However, as a note, I competed in several autox events before & after this mod & cooling is not affected by the pinching. I believe I wrote the review either somewhere in this thread or forum of how the overall temps went down from putting this hmic, removing the a/c, and some other small mods.
EDIT: fyi, if you are REALLY worried about it, just redo/custom the cold pipe. there's plenty of room, I just wanted a bolt-in solution w/o minimal/no extra customization outside what the SR guys are doing.
