Is that the glass part of an inline glass filter?

Nah, Looks like it's on the upper radiator hose. Looks to be at least 1 1/2 - 1 3/4

A buddy made an inline filter screen to help keep junk out of the radiator on a new engine fire up. Unless you are really good at cleaning the water jackets on the block AND heads, there will usually always be some junk left after caustic vatting or pressure washing. Caustics only remove the oils and not rust and the pressure washers usually can't get all of the rust scale out.

Check out the LX forum (2005-> Charger/Magnum/300/Challenger). They have been using clear inserts/hoses for years. Not my cup of tea, but who am I to criticize.

It's called "Killer Glass" and yes a lot of the late model hemi guys use them.
