the x14xe, x16xe and c16xe all use the same kits
the difference is if you have aircon or not as the rad is a different size

and mine is an x16xe without aircon

the top hose had the same angle bend...but was alot shorter and wouldnt reach from the stat to the rad...
bottom hose was nearly straight...
i didnt even bother with the other hose....it may have been right lol
