I need to replace mine asap, just wondering if it was worth going aftermarket or just ordering a stock one.

Also an aftermarket one should just drop in right? i shouldn't have to modify much/anything to use it correct?

id stay with OEm if you dont have any performance mods

KOYO and Fluidyne are pretty good I hear

cannonbear,

most radiator shops offer "rebuilt" radiators that can replace your old radiator. what it is actually is an old radiator of the same model that they remanufacture and repaint, using the same shell. that is why most radiator shops must take your old radiator when they replace it.

however, there are other alternative ways, like getting an aftermarket japanese radiator. ask the mechanic to get you one of those if you don't want a rebuilt radiator. rebuilt or aftermarket, it should cost you with labor around $150. make sure they change the thermostat while they are at it and put in a new thermostat gasket as well.

i was thinking of changing out my radiator... it was sorta bent during my last accident. anybody know how much an OEM one is?

Kirby, do they make them for the GS?

Yes they do. LMW can order them for ya.

I thought LMW uses the one from the IS though.

if you have to change , might as well change to something better like Fluidyne. More cooling is always better specially like here in Vegas.

is this a pretty easy swap? i have to do it myself as my car is in my driveway right now on stands. i ordered just a new radiator as i got a new t-stat and gasket when i did my 100k mile service.

what does a KOYO and Fluidyne go for $? any pics. I think Jay has the Koyo on his monster.

i dont think they make a specific one for the GS yet ...i think they make a similar one to OEM but not a polished one

they sell them on ebay for a great price
