Default Which radiator should I buy?

I need a new one and I am trying to decide between an oem style sold by a local radiator place for $149 or a CXRacing all metal radiator from ebay for $141 shipped. The local place offers a lifetime warranty. I have no idea if any warranty is offered with the ebay radiator.

Advice?

The CXRacing radiator seems to have decent reviews as long as you ditch the plastic drain plug. I've got a Koyo in mine, but there were no cheap eBay radiators back when I was shopping 6 years ago. Today, I might give the CX a shot.

If you want an OEM replacement style, talk to KSpeed. The shop gets good prices on those.

It's hard to argue with lifetime warranty.
