Funny, I just replaced mine this past weekend with 128k + miles on it. I shopped around and there aren't too many. The Koyo goes for about $450, and mugen has a couple for $750 & $1475!!!

For me, the OEM one did a good job, lived a good life and served its purpose. If I get another 125k + out of this one I'll be content. I couldn't pass up the deal I got anyway and I did all the labor.

Hmnmmm, maybe we should complain to Honduh and initaite a recall .

The OEM one can be had for under $300.00. It makes the most economic sense. It works great and has shown to have a very long life. Why buy something for a Hell of a lot more money? Just so you can say "I've got a XXXXX radiator"? You have just got to be kidding.

Thanks guys, I'm leaning toward an OEM since this one got me this far! I was just curious as to what all was out there, and it seems the choices are limited, especcially in my budget!
