radiator blew its top

So my stock radiator came apart at the plastic top end. Can some one recommend an after market one or stock?

I see people are using mishimoto, how does everyone like them?

EBay sells it for $270 or better offer with free shipping, is that a competitive price?

Thanks

mishimoto ones aren't bad, when mine went out I just got one from advanced auto parts for like 75 bucks or something, I will get a nice radiator eventually if I ever go forward facing

75! Holy sh*t I'll just save my money then. I'll definitely try the parts store first. Thank you!

give them a call first, you can also have your radiator rebuilt at a radiator shop which may even be cheaper. I kept my oem radiator because I know the top is simple for them to fix

I just ordered a generic ebay evo 4/5/6 rad. It moves the top coolant hose over to the right, away from the exhaust manifold. They're great quality..

Rock Auto/Parts Geek sell OEM Replacement Rads for < 100 bucks

Mine went finally at 150k, I picked up a low millage stock unit on here for 20 bucks.

Never had a cooling issue, have no use for a large AL Rad. Money better spent elsewhere
