Well almost at 3 years (not even 10k miles) with my CSF and now it started leaking. The leak is coming from the b tubes. took weeks to get answers back from CSF. They don't stand behind their product and now I have a 550 dollar paper weight. Will be purchasing a mishimoto soon because at least they have a lifetime warranty.

I just keep hearing Chris Farley. I can slap a lifetime guarantee on a box of crap but doesn't change it's a box of crap.

Well I would rather have a box of crap with a lifetime warranty than have a box of crap without a lifetime warranty (CSF). Lol

Ain't going to matter when you have an epic failure with Mishimoto crap. I'd put a factory radiator back in before I would ever consider anything from Mishimoto.

Well the issue is being boosted the factory one won't cut it in this Georgia heat. Trust me I'm not happy about buying a mishimoto one but I'm kind of backed into a corner.

Boosted in Texas, so I understand. I've just seen the pile of failed Mishimoto parts at my tuners shop.

Why's it a paper weight? Fit it. Simple.

Could always go with a HPI radiator... but they're pricey.

Thought we was going to have great results with the CSF radiator. Now the long term results are starting to come in. And it doesn't look good.

What other choices are they besides the 1000 dollar hpi

I'm hoping that I had one of the first batch mess ups and the manufacturing got better as time went on.

Have you done this before? I'll probably get it fixed and sell it then.

I would pay this price one time and be done with it. That's just me though.
