Radiator Replacement?
First of all, my radiator has a slight crack in it which causes it to leak a little bit.
I am looking to replace the radiator before I do my cam in the coming months. Where are you guys getting replacement radiators and is it worth is to get an upgraded performance radiator like a Mishimoto?

CSF designed these radiators to be a direct OEM replacement, requiring no modifications for installation. Utilizing the “B-Tube” technology and a radial tank design, these units are designed to perform up to 40% more efficient than OEM stock radiators. This radiator will keep even the most powerful and demanding engines cool even if pushed in extreme temperatures and conditions. Not only do these units look great, but they are designed to last. If you have any questions, Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime! Best regards, Tyler 888-308-6007 |

I like Flex-a-Lite and BeCool better and they're both made in the USA. Costs more but I think they're slightly better units. Not that the CSF is bad, but thats my opinion. The units with new fans are ridiculously priced but would support a ton of power.

Go with the CSF from JDP on here! Jordan sold me one last year and looks great! Easy install car never overheats and JDP are great to deal with. No brainer!

The Mishimoto radiator is made by CSF in Indonesia. The Flex-a-lite is US made and has twice the capacity of the CSF.
