You can just have it custom made up north (copper type, not aluminum). It should slightly be cheaper. [;)]

I never travel up North to service car before thus my only way is thru ebay.....:(

 

Forget to add, I prefer aluminium rather than copper due to weight. My stock radiator is already copper but its clamped and not welded and the clamped areas are leaking! Toyota PUI!

Dude the radiator is china made.....not trying to be a wet blanket but China car parts looks new & nice but can break apart in the most ridiculous manner.Esp those fully designed & made by themselves.Only those designed and QCed by reputable companies can be trusted.

For aftermarket radiators, I only trust the following brands:

1. Koyorad

2. PWR

3. Mishimoto

 

You should shroud the fans to ensure better viscous air flow through the radiator.

Yes, I do know these brands but they cost very close to the originally one. Thus I might as well buy the original one if I were to buy these aftermarket ones.

 

No, I don't want fan shrouds because its air resistance when car is moving.

Well, if it breaks apart, I just replace it lor. I don't expect it to last long. If it can last just 2yrs good enough already. Anything more is a bonus.
