Ok I’m done, second mishimoto leaks in less than 10k miles! Just ordered csf primary and secondary radiators. Hope this radiator will at least last 5 years
i would just do OEM. There is a reason they do plastic end tanks...
Flex is what kills these rads. Rigid aluminum have no give-hence the short lifespan. Those plastic end tanks flex a lot more than you think, they also expand/contract at a different rate than aluminum.+1.
Please go on about the plastic tanks though

On a replacement OEM for the last 60K miles....love it.
I guess you'll be our test monkey LOL
What one?
The new style mishis have plenty of flex. They have the rubber top isolators like stock, but the actual 1in post that goes through the isolator is now rubber as well.Flex is what kills these rads.

Lol did it had 50hp? Lol
In all seriousness. I know people complain about radiators but the OEM rad on my 2015 lasted till 125k miles when I traded it in.. zero issues.

I'm gonna have to just buy a damn stock radiator. My mishimoto crapper has leaked for awhile now! No time to swap and to do warranty is a PIA. I'll guess I'll go back to stock. Send it in and sell it hearing even the replacements leak.
