I got a Mishimoto with zero issues and fitment was spot on
Pros: zero issues, spot on
And don't put the oem radiator in (it sucks). A mishimoto is 2/3 the price, will last longer (it's not made of plastic at the top -- that's why the oem ones fail) and it will actually keep your engine a little cooler.
Pros: lasts longer, keeps cooler
Cons: oem ones fail
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
If u get a mishimoto it won't break again
Pros: durable radiator
Get a csf or koyorad. Mishimoto isn’t that great
Cons: not that great
I like my Mishimoto one. But I have an Auto, and the only one they had for the Baja didn't have the cooler built in, so I had to run an external trans cooler. But it all went easy, even with that. Electric fans and catch tank bolted right up no problem
Pros: easy installation
Cons: external trans cooler needed
Vehicle:
Subaru
Exact thing happened to me last year. Replaced with a Mishimoto
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
Mishimoto oem replacement is cheap dependable and lifetime warranty.
Pros: cheap, dependable, lifetime warranty
I bought the mishimoto rad and it works well, the main benefit to the mishimoto is that they have a no questions asked lifetime guarantee. I had to replace it after a year due to a leak and mishimoto replaced it completely free with very good customer service. So the rads might not be as good as CSF but my dealings with the company have been very positive.
Pros: lifetime guarantee, good customer service
Cons: not as good as CSF
I went through 4 mishitis in 2.5 years DO NOT each replacement cost $45 for “shipping.” I lost money and time dealing with recycled beer can BS.
Cons: poor quality, expensive shipping, unreliable
