Anyone know where to get new radiator

Anyone recommend anywhere for a full aluminum radiator for cheaper than 240?

We replaced our radiator last summer. We went with this OE replacement. It's not as cool as the Koyo, but it works just fine.

Just be sure to specify which transmission you have when you order one, don't think it makes a difference but it doesn't hurt to provide as much information as you can when you order anything.

I can vouch for them. Bought one for the 4th gen and the 5.5. Great customer service and great pricing!

+1 Should be done in about 15 minutes depending on the tools you have and how big a mess you make.

Actually, the autos should be more expensive since they have the tube the the ATF goes through to cool the fluid. Manuals don't need it...but you can use an automatic version regardless.

There is not a thick aluminum one out there for our cars without having one custom made and paying a lot for it. Trust me I've looked vigorously. I found that the 4th gen OEM radiator is much thicker then ours and works great! For anyone looking for an upgrade, this is the best solution.
