Any input on these radiators? Probably get what you pay for I'm sure but thought I'd ask in comparison over stock

Ive used one,it will require a little bit of modding but overall they seem decent. I would buy another . I will try to post some more pics later

Last 1 I ordered I sent it back. China or whoever makes this stuff sucks. Says it ships from here. Did not say it was made here.

Why did you send it back? The lower outlet bend issue?

If someone has a good deal on a PWR I'm interested.... By the time you pay fab time your probably out the same money

The outlet and breather were smashed.

Been running one for 2 years of mx with no issues. You can def. tell the quality isn't that of some others but I wouldnt be afraid to buy another.

I used one and never had issues as well

I'm running a ASI radiator (also an eBay special) for several years with no issues. Would order another for sure.

I just bought the GPI radiator and I paid 30 dollars to have the outlet changed. When my fab guy cut it off he said the hole in the radiator was only open about 25% of the size of the outlet. Said it looked like someone used a punch to put a hole in it. He opened it up for me. mounts for the louvers on the front didnt match up real well. Had to cut the un-necessary mount in the middle on the top because it hit my LSR steering stem. Its def. not just bolt in and go. You get what you pay for here.

Similar experience to others. I had to remove upper tab and louver mounts are a little off. The outlet clears the laeger chassis. I have not tried it on the '88 frame. I did explore the opening issue Phantom had and didn't notice any major restrictions.
