Radiators are just heat exchangers, don't expect any new technological breakthroughs here. A Mustang radiator won't be too hard to find.

Just make sure the replacement doesn't use plastic end caps.

I am running an OEM replacement from a 2001 Cobra. It's thinner than the Terminator one and has "plastic end caps" but I haven't had any issues at all.

I had a Fluidyne and a Mishimoto and they both ended up leaking. Fluidyne lasted 4 months, Mishi lasted a year.

The OEM I got from Late Model. It says "Will not fit 03/04 Cobra" but it fit perfectly.

Mishimoto has a great drop in. I can't quite remember exact measurements but its just a tad thicker and comes with a new mounting frame that keeps it from cracking and leaking. No notching or modifying anything to get it to fit. Part number is: MMRAD-MUS-97B. I bought a BNIB on Amazon from a seller called OverstockAuto for $291.98 and would do it again in a heartbeat if needed.

We carry both the Fluidyne and Mishimoto radiators and both have been great to us with the construction revisions they have both made recently to help with the leaking the old units had in the past. Fluidyne revised the core and tanks and Mishimoto came out with the stabilizer system, either route you go, I would recommend the Mishimoto upper radiator brackets. These will help prevent putting so much strain on the radiator when chassis does flex. And of course, being an SVTPerformance member, you can use our special discount code when checking out online to get a discount, that code is "SVTPERF"

Hope that answers any questions, let us know if we can help you further.

Thanks.

IS there still a 1 year warranty against any leaks on the Fluidyne? And if so and a leak develops, would I have to deal directly with LethalP or Fluidyne to obtain a warranty replacement?

Thanks
