Here is the problem. Companies send a product over to China to be copied and mass produced. Witch the design is close but the quality of the metals is not up to par. Last a year or two and done. Mishimoto radiators are junk cause of this.

Their radiators are made in New Castle, Delaware. I’ve bought a lot of their stuff and have had zero issues with splitting tanks or leaks on their silicone rubbers or my intercooler. The only complaint I really have for them is that they’re products usually require further mods to install that they don’t explain in depth much

They are designed there but made in China. The blue LMM with the front push bar in their literature is mine.
If you look at these Coolers, the first two rows are useless, the welds around the fittings crack and the stock cooler works better. I had customers call me and complain about these. I had a chance to see one in person a while back and compared it to Mike's Setrab, night and day difference.
PPE so far ditched setrab for the six speeds, I don't know if they did so for the 5 speeds. But still use setrab products for advertising..

Hmm thanks very good info right there,I wish Mike would have chimed in this thread but looks like I’m selling this and going with his
So I guess this would explain why I didn’t notice a difference over- stock

PM him. i dont think hounding him about selling it when he has not said hes looking to off load it is doing you any favors.
I paid 400 , I have an offer for 275 on it already

X2 what James said, and I'm going to add that this isn't the first time I've read you soliciting others, whether buying or selling, in the tech areas. Please knock it off, take it to PMs.

For some reason im having problems sending private messages on my cellphone is the reason for commenting on the thread as I perfer not to clutter up the posts if it works correctly. Sorry guys didn't mean to piss anyone off.

On this PPE cooler that is a negative on the first two rows being welded or blocked off I stuck a skinny zip tied and it goes tthrough and through
But regardless I’m already shipping this one out and getting Mike’s can’t wait to see the difference.

Yes I do have a great update!!!!
After receiving Mike’s , I did a side-by-side comparison of both setrab & ppe coolers ,I noticed right away the orifices on the PPE cooler have up and down peaks Valley - Mountain -Valley Mountain -Valley -Mountain allowing the fluid to work harder to transition from one side to the other
On mike l cooler His was flat -flush and smooth Cut straight vertically up-and-down the fluid did not have to work hard to transition to the other side
(I don’t think I have a picture but I hope you get what I’m saying)
Both coolers had the same amount of channels The PPE was not blocked it went through and through that was the only differences I noticed with the two comparing them besides the fact that Mike’s cooler was a million times better built quality wasn’t even comparable! I’m sure there was more internally that I could not see.
At the end I am very very happy I went with Mike’s because I noticed The quality of the metal was million times better also my temperature DID Drop 20° I never did see that with the PPE cooler it was like I was running the factory OEM one so glad I made the swap!!
