so say you had had 1800 to blow on a radiator would you even do it. so this mugen aluminum radiator costs like 1800 FOR WHAT? BECAUSE ITS MUGEN like i really dont get it. on most of the websites they dont give you detailed specs on it especially regarding the cores, all they say is it cools your engine better i mean really come on now. but anyway do any of you have this or know whats so special about this radiator because koyo and mishimoto cost around the 300-400 range soooo yeahh and even j's radiator costs like 2 grand. here are some pics

MUGEN








here is J's

The ARC is another high dollar radiator. PWR is about the most I would spend- those are around 800-900 but have a built in oil cooler. The people that buy high dollar radiators are buying them for the name. I am content with my koyo.

The construction of the J's looks VERY similar to my Mishi.

well keep in mind that the stencil and spray paint used is also JDM cut and pigmented...hence the increased cost.
