Radiator question

So I figured out my radiator is leaking...bad. I ordered a brand new one from STM, it's the CSF factory replacement one. Is that a decent replacement or should I have gone with mishimoto or koyo.

Why didn't you just get the factory Mitsubishi one? It's made to work best with this motor.

i would have went with a mishimoto over a factory like replacement. It will flow better than stock and be more efficient.

I have the CSF and it works fine. I needed a factory or CSF due to my external o2 housing. STM ships fast and it seems like a great product. No overheating and easy install.

The Oem one is a lot more expenssive and don't want another crack at the fins. For 200$ from stm I figured it would be a nice replacement. When I upgrade my turbo etc I'll go with a koyo.

How long have you had it and how is the quality?

I have a CBRD OEM replacement but works better than OEM and has the upper pipe on the driver's side. It can be ready to go at a moments notice if you are interested.
