Need a new radiator, any suggestions?

Seems the OEM is very expensive, how are these e-bay radiators?

try mylers

Heard the chinees radiators are not the best, but good price/quality and do there job. Thicker than standard and therefore some trimming could be needed.

I love my $100.00 chinese radiators. They fit up perfect on my '05 (not the plastic louvers though, had to zip-tie them on). Bigger capacity than stock and built from heavier gauge aluminum. To be honest the Myler's rads that I have seen look identical to the Chinese radiators, with the addition of a small piece of flat stock welded horizontally in the middle of the radiator.

Couldn't resist the price, bought some on ebay.

I would like to delete the thermostat, any cheap hose kits out there?

I replaced my thermostat with an in-line cooler. Wether they work or not is still up for debate? But it was easier then hunting down a hose. They can be had on ebay also for around $25.

I've bought two from this guy....

Nice, never thought of that! Cheaper than buying a hose kit, especially when it is not needed.

Another question...how do you take off those weird hose clamps?

With a screwdriver it pop out!

Pinch the raised tabs with a pair of needle nose and pop them with a small flathead.
