i see that obx has made some silicone rad hoses for the 2.5rs. does anyone know if these are the same as the 3rd gen hoses?

no, BE/BH's use the same radiators as WRX's and STI's. That's why ECS was able to use an sti rad they had with my old hoses when my old rad sprung a leak during the swap. The water out/inlets on ej motors are the same, only the out/inlets on the rads have changed over the years.
