Radiator: OEM or Aftermarket

[Slithr]

Well it looks like my 2003 OEM radiator (7,400k) has sprung several leaks I was hoping it was the lower hose, but after replacing it, I noticed at least two holes in the radiator about half way up spraying back across the motor (when I moved the fan).

I'm hesitant to buy another OEM unit $725.00 (due to poor performance of original), or should I go aftermarket (Howe Racing) $829.00, any members with a similar experience or input would be appreciated. TYIA

OEM is $575 at Viper Parts of America website. Plus you get a Venom discount if I'm not mistaken.

Haven't heard too many stock radiator issues, I'd say you're the exception to the rule..........
